The Mohaka River claim and hearings resulted in The Mohaka River Report being released in 1992. The report can be found on the Waitangi Tribunal website.

The recommendations were:

• The Crown should enter into discussions with Ngati Pahauwera as a Treaty partner with a view to reaching agreement on the vesting of the bed of the river from the Te Hoe junction to the rivers mouth in Ngati Pahauwera and on a regime for the future control and management of the river.
• Adequate funds should be made available by the Crown to Ngati Pahuwera to enable them to engage the necessary professional and related administrative services to pursue negotiations with the Crown.
• A Water Conservation order should not be made unless and until discussions between Ngati Pahauwera and the Crown result in an agreement on a regime for the control and management of the river, in which event the order should incorporate the agreement.
• Ngati Pahauwera should receive compensation for the past removal of gravel from the river, that sum being based on the estimated royalties that have been payable since 1963.
• Any further removal of gravel or haangi stones should require the approval of Ngati Pahauwera.
• Ngati Pahauwera should be reimbursed for the reasonable costs of bringing the claim.
