9.5.2 Te Pou Tupua's consent is not required for the use of water, although a consent authority under the Resource Management Act 1991 may determine that Te Pou Tupua is an affected person in respect of resource consents relating to water;

9.5.3 Te Pou Tupua's consent may be required separately as the landowner in relation to the use of the bed of the Whanganui River; and

9.5.4 except as expressly provided for, nothing in this settlement creates, limits, transfers, extinguishes or otherwise affects any rights or interests in water.
