The Tribal Hohos, including NZPO and Kuki Inpi, were asked to hold detailed consultations with stakeholders and arrive at a consensus decision. They were also requested to persuade stakeholders to provide an additional three metres of land for the project, as the existing 12 metres width is inadequate for long-term requirements.
