This benefit cluster is about te ao Māori (Māori world view) values, which are intertwined with obligations under Te Tiriti o Waitangi (the Treaty of Waitangi). This benefit incorporates both historical and contemporary evolving values that should be considered to understand the potential and realised benefits. It is about benefits realised due to integration of elements that respond to specific Māori concerns.

The Land Transport Management Act 2003 and the Resource Management Act 1991 capture the responsibilities of Waka Kotahi and approved organisations in regards to Māori and Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
