Local Māori will soon be able to return to live on their customary land.
Waimakariri District Council chief executive Jeff Millward says the proposed Waimakariri District Plan, which was notified in September 2021, includes special purpose zoning for Māori Reserve 873, between Kaiapoi and Rangiora.
This included allowing for up to seven houses on a four hectare section.
These have been incorporated into the draft Greater Christchurch Spatial Plan, which has recognised the need for infrastructure investment for kāinga nohoanga (places of residence) across the Greater Christchurch area.
"Historically they have been prevented from living on their own land and growing crops for mahinga kai," Millward said.
The National Policy Statement on Urban Development stated that well-functioning urban environments needed to have a variety of homes, and this included enabling Māori to express their cultural traditions and norms.
Māori Reserve 873, which included the kāinga (village) of Tuahiwi and the surrounding rural area, was set aside by the Crown in 1848 as a kāinga nohoanga.
The 1868 Native Land Court defined Ngāi Tahu mahinga kai and whānau rights.
But subsequent territorial authorities, including the Waimakariri District Council, which was established in 1989, had overlooked the history and introduced rural zoning rules and applied them to Māori Reserve 873.
Most recently, about 2005, the Waimakariri District Council changed the rural zoning for the reserve to 10 acres without consulting with the rūnanga.
This was unworkable as properties were already much smaller and had multiple houses on them.
The land grievances were due in part to different cultural understandings and the complexity of Māori ownership.
Māori practised Kaitiakitanga (stewardship) where resources including land were looked after by the hapū for the next generation.
The consequence has seen Māori lose the ability to use the land for mahinga kai and whānau have been unable to live on the land.
Comment was sought from Ngāi Tūāhuriri.

A Rangiora school plans to tackle a feral cat problem over the school holidays.
Rangiora New Life School is calling in the professionals to trap some cats, which have been living under classrooms, scavenging rubbish bins and children’s lunch boxes, setting off alarms, and posing a threat to local birdlife.
"We have two or three feral cats that we are concerned about and we want to make sure that they are OK," principal Stephen Walters said.
"I’m a cat lover myself and the last thing I want to see is cats which are unwell, not getting enough to eat and freezing over the winter."
He said the trapping company had the ability to scan the cats, with the microchipped cats to be released or returned to their homes.
Cats without chips would be passed on to a cat shelter to be checked and rehomed.
"I can assure everyone they will all be treated humanely," Walters said.
"This is not a good place for them to be and we want to make sure they can find a home and be looked after."
The threat to birdlife had been particularly concerning, he said.
"We’ve already had a clutch of ducklings killed by the cats and that was quite distressing for the children."
