Te Pouwhakarae Presentation
The Pouwhakarae presented the key strategic issues Te Korowai o Ngāruahine Trust (Te Korowai) are focusing on for the coming year. This included an internal governance review, constitutional review, Takutai Moana applications, maunga negotiations and deferred settlement properties. Regarding marae development, the Pouwhakarae explained the board’s decision to put marae payments on hold, and the need to develop a plan that was supportive of all marae.
