The Environment Court did not err in law; it conscientiously identified, weighed and balanced competing Part 2 RMA matters (s5, s6, s7, s8), properly considered the Mataitai Reserve and Treaty principles, and reached an evaluative conclusion that consent conditions (including delay on Tanea Shelf and mitigation measures) adequately avoid, remedy or mitigate significant cultural effects. The High Court dismissed the appeal for lack of error of law.
