Co-governance works in Far North. Not!

arrangements and practices that the department itself should have managed better over a sustained period

the review confirmed that, since at least 2021, the booking systems for the campgrounds had operated outside department-controlled systems and the revenue collected from campers had been retained by Ngāti Kuri, rather than being paid into a Crown bank account

issues are now the subject of an external investigation, with DoC estimating the Ngāti Kuri Trust Board owes $1.8 million in “campsite revenue”

Department of Conservation (DoC) has acknowledged it failed to properly oversee the management of three Far North campgrounds for years

Co-governance on steroids.  A fine example!

Like past actions in the Urerewa, it means we will do the governance, keep the cash readies.  You, the ever-suffering coloniser taxpayer can maintain and pay for any upkeep.

Obscene how this DOC/iwi rort has been going on for five years or more.  No doubt the local FNDC and NRC councils also contribute my hard-earnt property taxes to enable this operation.
