Ko Te Paratehoata te Kōhea te Marae Tūnohopū marae stands on land owned by descendants of Ngāti Tūnohopū and Ngāti Rangiiwaho who are two of the six Koromatua Hapū of Ngāti Whakaue. Tūnohopū was carved by Rotohiko Hori Haupapa and Kiwi Amohau among others. It was opened on 31 March 1926. The marae serves as one of the primary marae for Ngāti Whakaue in terms of hui, tangihanga and other events. With the Ruapeka and other ngawha nearby, and an enduring tradition of using geothermal energy for most of the cooking on the marae, the whānau here are deeply
committed to protecting, managing and nurturing those taonga for present and future generations. Rarangi take - AgendaPlease check the Komiti Māori web page for the full meeting agenda two days prior to the meeting. See minutes from our previous hui at Hei Marae on 22 August here>>

Survey on Māori involvement in freshwater management Toi Moana is keen to hear your views on how National Policy Statement provisions for the involvement of iwi and hapū in the management of freshwater could best be given effect in the Bay of Plenty. Please help by completing our brief online survey here>> by 12 October and we'll send you one of our Ecotanka stainless steel water bottles to say thanks. Alternatively, you can contact Anaru Vercoe via email or phone 0800 884 881 ext 9328, to provide feedback directly on the following questions: - In what ways could Council involve tangata whenua in the management of freshwater?
- What information do you think would enhance and inform the way fresh water is managed into the future?
- How could Council provide opportunities for Māori practitioners or kaitiaki to participate in fresh water management (eg what are some practical initiatives that can be readily implemented)?
The information we collect through this survey will provide an important platform for further discussions with Māori
as we progress our mahi in this space.

Geothermal management huiA second round of hui to discuss changes our geothermal management plan provisions with Māori were held in September, this time focussing on a whole system management plan for the Rotorua Geothermal System. The hui are helping
Regional Council to find the best ways to ensure the voices of communities in Whakarewarewa, Ōhinemutu and Ngāpuna are heard. Feedback received has been really useful, with issues including matauranga Māori, cultural use, monitoring and cultural indicators, partnership and decision making being discussed. More information about the project is available online. Contact Penny Doorman (Geothermal Programme Leader) or Rawiri Bhana (Māori Policy Advisor) to find out more.
Waimana whanau upskill on Resource Management Act Wairata Peratiaki of Waimana kaaku worked with Toi Moana staff to arrange an RMA workshop for his whanau (pictured above) last month. “The information given to us through the workshop has closed the gap in many areas of understanding; from Treaty obligations to roles, and responsibilities for Tangata Whenua kaitiaki and Regional Council. Our hapū are in a much better place to give a more
knowledgeable, quality response to resource consents within our whārua, and this workshop has enabled us to tautoko our neighbouring iwi/hapū which will enhance and enrich our relationship with them,” Wairata said. Toi Moana offers the whanau-centred training to any interested group of tangata whenua in the region. See our flyer for details and contact our Māori Policy Advisors on 0800 884 880 to find out more or arrange a session for your whanau.
