This Supplementary Order Paper amends the Te Atiawa Claims Settlement Bill to make technical amendments that relate to the vesting of the Taumata property, which is a cultural redress property.

The amendment relates to property that is to be exchanged (exchange property) as part of the vesting of the Taumata property. The amendment enables the exchange property to be treated as a cultural redress property in specified circumstances (for example, sections 24 and 25 of the Reserves Act 1977 do not apply when the reserve status of the property is revoked and section 11 and Part 10 of the Resource Management Act 1991 do not apply to the vesting of the property).
