The Tenures Sections client base also includes the First Nations whose traditional territories (see the SIFD FN summary Map) are wholly or in part within the South Island Forest District. The Tenures Section staff, on behalf of the District Manager, consult with First Nations during the review and comment and approval process of Forest Stewardship Plans. Consultation may also take place prior to issuance of harvest authority. The Tenures Section staff also work with First Nations in conjunction with Branch and Region staff to develop harvest opportunities.
The focus of our section is to manage all operational plans and harvest authority applications to ensure approval within pre-set timelines. Section staff work with licensees, MoFR and agency staff to ensure consistency of application of legislation and policy. In addition, we are committed to continuous improvement and work with our clients to improve our collective business process.
