5. CONCLUSION The Waihi North Biodiversity Project is proposed as a way to ensure habitats and species are maintained and enhanced in the vicinity of Waihi North Project for at least the foreseeable future and ideally in perpetuity. The proposed approach deliberately maximises the involvement of tangata whenua and other people (including via employment) and is intended to be designed with long term (inter-generational) ecological outcomes in mind. Specific details of the Biodiversity Project (including the name) would be developed collaboratively by interested parties, stakeholders and those with an interest in the outcome, perhaps via a project steering group or similar. This document has provided a starting point from which details can be developed and interested parties identified in order to progress the proposal.
