INTRODUCTIONIn planning New Zealand's transport networks and infrastructure, sustainability will become an critical aspect. The government's main objective is at the moment to establish "... an reliable , affordable, clean , safe, open and resilient transportation system which supports the growth of the economy of our country ..." (Ministry of Transport, 2019). The Federal Land Transport Plan of Manawatu-Wanganui 2010-2040 also gives high priority to sustainability (Basher et al., 2020).The plan considers that the 2040 regional transport system will be "[a] secure, sustainable and durable transport system that facilitates economic growth and lifestyle choices with clear ties to the national corridors" (Benham, 2020)This concentrate on resilience in the Manawatu-Wanganui area is partially motivated by fears regarding expected transport network shocks due to the impact of climate change and changes in oil prices (Craig, 2019). It is expected that the former could lead to more heavy and frequent precipitation incidents, which could cause more frequent flooding, landfall and other disturbances in the transportation network, while the latter could raise demands for other modesof transport.(Charter, 2019)
The Manawatu-Whanganui Region – an erodible hill country landscapeIt is situated at the bottom of the central North Island of New Zealand, Manawatu-Whanganui area. Hill country farming and land degradation are an intrinsic aspect of the landscape of the area. It is the country with the highest country of total area (2,2 million hectares) and the highlands (61%) of any New Zealand region (Canning & FISH, 2019)The region is identifiable as having the highest erosion-prone hill country area (Ministry of the Environment, 2019) and is at risk of moderate-severe erosion (HRC, 2013), with a surface area of 274,000 hectares. Regions are not part of an adressible locality under the Local Government Act 2002. There are no problems with emergency detection. It is quite doubtful that dispatches will be 'somewhere inthe area of Manawatū-Whanganui.'(Charter, 2019)The 2004 storms: a catalyst for changeA rain fall in the city had catastrophic consequences 1 in 100 years in February 2004. The severe rain (Todd, 2004) recorded 62,000 landslides occurring at approx. 116,000 hectares of hill country and eroding approx. 200 million tonnes of soil in 1923 caused widespread harm to buildings, soil and populations (HRC, 2010(a)). The economic influence for the country was projected to be 300 million dollars (HRC, 2004b). At the time , the central government analysed the region 's effects as beyond the federal potential for recovery alone. Subsequently, approximately US$ 130 million was made available by the central government to help clean up and reconstruction programmes and disaster response (HRC, 2004a). In 2006, the regional council launched the SLUI in the area and funding was eventually confirmed in 2007, for the original four years, by the central government, through the Ministry of Agriculture and forests.PRICIPLESTreaty of .Waitangi(T.O.W) principlesThe ties among the Government and Maor under the Treaty of .Waitangi(T.O.W) are based on concepts of cooperation, engagement and security.1. The collaboration includes the implementation of policies for the benefit of Maor wellbeing and adequate health care with the iWi, Hapû, Whānau and Maor groups.
2. In order to contribute, the Maor need to be active in the choice-making, strategy, development and availability in the welfare and disabilities area of healthcare at all stages.3. The Government must protect Maor so that their wellbeing is at least as good as that of nonMaor and that cultural concepts, values and activities of Maor are safeguarded.Our VisionTo be a respected company with our experience, creativity, research and leadership in making the city a place to visit, play and work.(Scott & Boisselle, 2019)Our PurposeTo be a respected company for our experience, creativity, research and leadership in making the area a place to live, play and work.Our GoalsFacilitating regional development in the economy;Retaining and strengthening the environmental standards of the region;Increased sensitivity of the environment to natural hazards;Improving the accessibility and transport links of our region;To inspire residents and societies to make it a better place for our region.(Popa, 2020)IMPORTANCE OF TOW PRICIPLEThe Treaty controls the bond among the Maor (the tangata whenua (indigenus individuals)) andeveryone else, and assures the protection of the interests of both the Maor and the Pakeha (non-Maor). It does so through:Acceptance of the right of Maor iwi (tribes) to unite themselves, to preserve their way of life and to manage their own wealthRequiring the Government to behave in good conscience and fairly against MaorResponsibility of the government for trying to resolve complaintsTo create equity and the idea that, under the statute, all New Zealanders is equal.
