The Watercase Litigation
Māori groups representing landowners, hapu and iwi filed proceedings in the High Court on the 26 June, against the Crown, citing its repeated failure to uphold the tikanga-based and Tiriti-guaranteed rights, interests and responsibilities of Māori in relation to freshwater.
Sought Outcomes:
- Immediate action to halt further decline in the health and wellbeing of water bodies.
- Recognition of Māori tikanga and proprietary rights in water and geothermal resources.
- A fair and durable water allocation system that enables Māori to fulfil their responsibilities as kaitiaki.
