Project Lead: Rebecca Ryder, Boffa Miskell
As part of the Waikato District Plan review, Boffa Miskell Ltd was engaged by Waikato District Council to undertake a review of the existing landscape characterisation and classifications, and to re-evaluate the landscapes for the Council’s District Plan Review.
Rebecca Ryder, a landscape architect and landscape planner based in Boffa Miskell’s Tauranga office, provided the project lead working collaboratively with Te Pio Kawe, Kaiarataki of the company’s Te Hihiri discipline.
“This review was prepared to provide consistency throughout the District Plan and to give effect to the Waikato Regional Policy Statement. A key focus of the project was developing a collaborative approach with tangata whenua. Achieving this through comprehensive engagement with the Waikato District Council’s Iwi Reference Group was a key factor in delivering the study.”
Rebecca Ryder and Te Pio worked alongside the Iwi Reference Group through a series of workshops and one-on-one hui to identify and record tangata whenua’s relationships and values associated with their local landscape.
