Foreshore and Seabed
The Government and the Maori party have reached an agreement in relation to the foreshore and seabed. The key points to the agreement reached are as follows:
- Repeal of the Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004.
- Existing private titles will continue unaffected.
- Public access and existing navigation and fishing rights will continue unaffected.
- The foreshore and seabed which are currently vested in the Crown will become a public space.
- Maori will be able to seek customary rights and customary title through negotiation with the Government or through the High Court.
