Answer

The City and Regional Deals strategic framework encourages local government to engage early with Māori organisations and entities to identify opportunities to partner with Māori, to attract iwi investment, and to use Māori/iwi expertise in City and Regional Deals and projects under a Deal. City and Regional Deals will also need to honour pre-existing Treaty of Waitangi obligations.
