‘Hold us to account’: Iwi defends its own fast-track project

Ngāti Manuhiri’s fast-track bid for an environmental housing development will go before an expert panel, highlighting how the legislation relies on individual environmental responsibility rather than hard policy.
The project would see hundreds of new homes built with an emphasis on community support and environmental protections, and was championed by the 2024 New Zealand Environmental Hero of the Year, Nicola MacDonald.
