Te Rautau: Te Rāhui Taketake Ngati Whakaue ki Maketu Hapū Management Plan

Ngati Whakaue ki Maketu lodged the current Plan with Regional Council in 2009 It is outdated and has run its course of usefulness. It is time for new aspirations for the hapu to achieve. Why Now?

Why do we need a Hapū Management Plan? A way of voicing our collective aspirations for the environment and our people The new and improved Plan: Articulates the concerns and aspirations of the hapu. Ensures we are consulted about activities (especially consents) within our rohe. Will influence Council plans, processes, decisions and better outcomes. Will guide our own strategic objectives and mahi.

Plan Vision To restore and enhance the mauri of land, rivers, streams, aquifers, wetlands, estuaries and the coastal environment within our rohe In other words, “ka ora te taiao, ka ora te tangata” “our environment is healthy, we are healthy and will prosper”
