Deeds of Recognition
-
A number of settlement acts authorise the Minister for Conservation or the Commissioner of Crown Lands, as appropriate, to enter into and amend deeds of recognition in respect of the land within the statutory areas. The purpose of deeds of recognition is to require that the governance entity be consulted, and regard be had to its views, as provided for in the deed of settlement and in each deed of recognition.
- In seven settlements when deeds of recognition are made in relation to rivers, the following text (or similar) is included.3 Full text from each settlement act is included in Appendices
7-18.
Deed of recognition for rivers
If a deed of recognition relates to a river, that deed of recognition relates only to the bed of the river, which does not include—- a part of the bed that is not owned and managed by the Crown; or
- land that the waters of the river do not cover at its fullest flow without overlapping its banks; or
- the bed of an artificial watercourse; or
- the bed of a tributary flowing into the river.
