Notes for Slide 2:
1.NZHPT is an autonomous Crown entity that is approximately 80% funded by the Crown through the Ministry for Culture and Heritage. We operate under the requirements of the Crown Entities Act and the Historic Places Act.

2. The organisation is governed by a Board mostly appointed by the Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage, and incorporates the Maori Heritage Council. As an autonomous Crown Entity it is not subject to direction by the government on matters of heritage policy.

3. Immediately after the 2010 earthquake event, NZHPT staff set about contacted over 500 heritage property owners to provide free expert heritage and structural engineering advise. We have also been providing heritage assessments and individual Reports to CERA and the CCDU to inform their decision making in respect of them exercising Section 38 of their Act.

4. Our normal and ongoing role is to assist in the long-term survival highly significant heritage places, wahi tapu, wahi tupuna and archaeological sites by:

•Regulating the modification of archaeological sites.

•Providing conservation advice to property owners as well as central government agencies, local heritage organisations and to District and Regional Councils throughout the country.

•Advocating for the protection of the most significant historic places and wahi tapu in Resource Management Act processes under which District Councils and the Environment Court are the responsible decision makers.

•We also provide incentive funding for the conservation of category one and wahi tapu entries on the NZHPT Register that are in private ownership.

•We are also a property owner, responsible for for 48 heritage properties located throughout New Zealand, which are managed as cultural tourism attractions.

Notes for Slide3:
These figures are based on the current situation measured against the NZHPT register, just prior to the earthquakes. They therefore differ to the CERA Reports, which use July 2012 as a baseline to measure back to.

Christ Collage and Arts centre sites represent about 20 registered sites, so these figures can be a bit misleading.
