Summary
The Te Urewera Act 2014 establishes that Te Urewera, a region of forested hill country in the North Island of New Zealand, is no longer Crown land and ceases to be a national park. The act declares the land is now managed by the new Te Urewera Board, which is responsible for acting on behalf and in the name of Te Urewera, and not the Department of Conservation. The act says the new Te Urewera Board must consider and provide appropriately for the relationship of iwi and hapū and their culture and traditions with Te Urewera when making decisions.
