TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | 2021 Annual Report

Te Rīpoata o te Tumuaki

Te Rīpoata o te Tumuaki o Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa Tuatahi, ko te tuku whakawhetai ki a Ihoa o nga mano, mo āna manaakitanga ki runga i a tātou. Kei nga mate, koutou kua haohia e te kupenga a Taramainuku i roto i te tau, kua pahure, haere atu , okioki mai i roto i te Ariki. Ngāti Awa ki te rangi, Ngāti Awa ki te whenua; ‘ko Ngāti Awa te toki tē tangatanga i te rā, tē ngohengohe i te wai, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou tēnā tātou katoa. Meri Hepi, representative Tuariki sadly passed away in December 2020. Meri Hepi was a long serving representative of Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa, and over the years contributed to various issues for the hapū especially if it involved the Rangitaiki rohe. Meri was a dedicated representative who had a quiet and humble nature but when required spoke her mind on issues she was passionate about. Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa mourn Meri’s passing with her whānau and friends. Reflecting back on our 2020/2021, we have seen a lot of change and growth at Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa. From the many projects which have provided employment, cultural learnings, and business opportunities, to defending our Ngāti Awa boundaries and cultural values through court hearings and legal proceedings. Whatever the platform, we hope to have been devoted stewards in our role to defend, advocate, and progress the aspirations and values of our people. Coming together when the situation necessitates unity continues to be our strength, enabling us to move forward as the toki whose bindings cannot be loosened by the sun, nor softened by the rain. Coming together and showing manaakitanga has been something that Ngāti Awa has become well known internationally as witnessed during the remembrance of the anniversary of the Whakaari eruption, 9 December 2020. The day will always be remembered and we will always give thanks to the many people, businesses and emergency response teams who lent their support in a multitude of ways and to the exceptional and dedicated medical teams from around the motu and internationally, whose intense and dedicated work with survivors continued over many, many months. The same sentiment applies when we consider the situation before us and the impending threat COVID-19 poses to our whānau and to our whakapapa. Coming together in unity to overcome the crisis at hand is not only our only option, but the option that comes most naturally to us as revealed in our stories and histories. Therefore, we implore you, as a member of this Iwi,

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | 2021 Annual Report

as a member of your community, as a mokopuna, and as a tupuna, to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and to do your part to keep our whānau safe. Our whakapapa is our most precious taonga, of which we derive our identity, purpose, and connection. In all that Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa seeks to achieve, protecting our whakapapa and connection to each other and to this land, is most central. We will continue to deal with the various activities, challenges, and opporutnities in the years ahead as steadfastly as we can. We remain here, it is our home, it is our history, it is our future. In closing, I want to thank the Ngāti Awa Group Holdings Ltd Directors, Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa Trustees and Committee members for your ongoing commitment and dedication. I would also like to give special thanks to our Manahautū and team for all the tireless mahi they do, without them we would not be able to accomplish all the work we have in front of us. Mā te Atua tātau e manaaki e tiaki ngā wā katoa

Mā te ngaruru ō ngā whenua maru ō

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | 2021 Annual Report

Te Rīpoata o te Manahautū

I extend my thanks to the staff of Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa who have remained unwavering in their commitment to the Iwi. Thank you for all that you have and will continue to do. Tēnā koutou This is my last annual report as Manahautū Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa. Together over the past five years, we have faced some significant events in the history of Ngāti Awa – 2017 floods, 2019 eruption of Whakaari and beginning in 2020 up to today, COVID-19. Our collective approach with manaakitanga and aroha ki te tangata ensured that residents in our rohe, our manuhiri and the most vulnerable of our Iwi were cared for in times of extreme uncertainty. We have and continue to participate in multiple legal matters including our opposition to the Creswell (Nongfu) water bottling consent, and Marine and Coastal Title applications by other Iwi, and advocating for the protection of our taiao. We have also protected our borders and engaged with other Iwi and the Crown on proposed Tiriti o Waitangi settlements for those Iwi. These types of challenges will continue to test our unity, our resolve and our kaitiakitanga. Together we can protect our taonga, nurture our turangawaewae, and create an environment where Ngāti Awa is flourishing. We must be vigilant, and unified to preserve and enhance our taonga tuku iho. In the 2020/2021 financial year, we started and implemented workforce programmes with Korehāhā Whakahau, and Marae renovations for twelve (12) marae. All together we have employed 59 people across these two programmes, and 45 are of Ngāti Awa descent. We have spent $597,619.16 with Ngāti Awa businesses as well. All of these programmes meet at least four outcomes – perpetuation of our identity language and culture as Ngāti Awa, active kaitiakitanga, creating employment and a highly skilled work force. The ability for Ngāti Awa people to live and work within our rohe is achievable, with leadership and working with likeminded partners we can create the future we aspire to – Ngāti Awa people, living with and caring for our taonga for future generations. I extend my thanks to the staff of Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa who have remained unwavering in their commitment to the Iwi. Thank you for all that you have and will continue to do.

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | 2021 Annual Report

I am grateful to have been mentored by kaumātua within Ngāti Awa, and thank you for your time and knowledge. I also would like to thank the descendants of Ngāti Awa who have over the past five years exhausted their efforts to support, lead and represent Ngāti Awa. Lastly, to the various governors of the Ngāti Awa Group, together with the descendants of Ngāti Awa, we have the ability to realise a positive future based on our tikanga, kawa, and our taonga tuku iho. Our future can be as bright as we decide it will be, and I look forward to seeing the next evolution of Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa and it’s subsidiaries to realise our Iwi vision – Ko Ngāti Awa te toki, tē tangatanga i te rā, tē ngohengohe i te wai.

Ngāti Awa Education Scholarship Recipients During my first two years of study, I undertook work experience at Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa. I am now in my final year of study and working part time as an IT Assistant, performing tasks such as systems administrations, remote device management and web management.

Ko Kapūterangi te maunga Ko Whakatāne te awa Ko Mataatua te waka Ko Ngāti Awa te Iwi Ko Ngāti Rangataua te hapū Ko Ngaire Rapana ahau I am a mother first and foremost, raising my two sons alongside my supportive partner in our beautiful rohe of Ngāti Awa. Born and raised in Whakatāne, I come from a closeknit whānau that have been my backbone and leading support as I pursue a Bachelor of Applied Information Technology, majoring in Software Development. The journey so far has been strenuous to say the least, but the overwhelming amount of knowledge I have attained has made it a worthy experience and contributed to many life lessons along the way. Choosing Software Development was a decision based off of my previous experience of critical thinking and problem solving, and the satisfaction gained from piecing together the pieces of a puzzle. I am also able to express my creative side through coding, application design and website development. By continuing to work in this field, I am exposed to new learning opportunities, keeping my mind fresh and my mahi exciting.

Working for my Iwi has provided me with the opportunity to utilise the knowledge achieved through my degree for our people which has been nothing short of a golden opportunity. I am not only expanding on my current skillsets but also learning about our culture, the history of Ngāti Awa and my own whakapapa– valuable knowledge that I knew so little about. Researching about significant events like the Raupatu and the great injustice brought upon our people during those times was upsetting. Our lands were stripped, and our people left to suffer the harsh consequences of the Raupatu. After over a century of hardship, our Iwi were finally able to overcome these obstacles, but not without the exceptional efforts by our Ngāti Awa kaumātua. They took on the challenge to claim back what was rightfully ours, giving Ngāti Awa hope to revitalise our identity and culture. Knowledge like this gives me the strength and determination to keep striving through challenging times and be proud to descend from a resilient Iwi that recovered from deep adversity. I’d like to acknowledge Ngāti Awa for their financial contribution to not only my academic journey, but all recipients of Ngāti Awa Scholarships and Grants. Seeing our Iwi invest in our people is awe-inspiring, helping the future generations to achieve their greatest aspirations and career endeavours. I am beyond honoured to be a chosen recipient for this scholarship, which has helped with the financial stresses of studying Ngā mihi nui, Ngaire Rapana Applied Sciences Scholarship

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | 2021 Annual Report

Ko Putauaki te maunga Ko Oriini te awa Ko Ngai Taiwhakaea te hapū Ko Ngāti Awa te Iwi Ko Mataatua te waka Ko Te Paroa te marae Ko Katera Tutua toku ingoa I am currently in my 2nd year of studying medicine at Otago University. My interest in health stemed from my parents who are in the health profession. Being born and bred in Ngāti Awa, my education began at Edgecumbe Primary school where I was nurtured and then progressed at Whakatāne High school. At Whakatāne High school I was extended and my interest in health grew. Whakatāne High was also where I was introduced to more of Te Ao Māori. Since being at Medical school, it is sobering to see the poor Māori health statistics and I can see where having Māori in health professional roles can only be beneficial for us as a people. It also motivates me to learn te reo as that will be beneficial to me and my patients once I start working. I would like to thank Ngāti Awa for this scholarship and the support towards my studies. I hope to give back to Ngāti Awa in the future by returning to work in this rohe sometime. Ngā mihi nui, Katera Tutua Health Science Scholarship

I am now in my 2nd year at Te Whare Wānanga o Ōtākou, where I continue to work towards a Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Arts majoring in Māori Studies. Through my educational journey I have been part of the university’s Māori Centre initiative, Kā Rikarika a Tāne (KRAT), where I am a mentor who helps first year Māori students. I am also part of the university’s Aspire Program which gives the younger generation a broad insight into university subjects and the diverse culture within. As I give back to our Māori community, I am also working on self-development through Māori culture and knowledge. Through the university’s Leadership Award, I can look towards becoming fluent in Te Reo Māori with the idea of connection and belonging in mind. The Leadership Award allows me to continue my education through a Māori lens and how Te Reo can help me become a strong leader at university and further in life.

Kia mau ki tō Māoritanga Hold fast to your Māori heritage. Tēnā koutou, Ko Destiny Tupara toku ingoa. I was born and raised in Levin but always grew up hearing stories from my mum about life in Whakatāne and her strong cultural identity with Ngāti Awa. This led me on a path seeking cultural connection with my Iwi affiliations, a strong need to help our Māori community and to learn our language.

I aim to complete my studies end of 2024. In the future, I plan to apply my knowledge of law and implement

legal frameworks to help people, particularly Māori and Pasifika. I want to work towards ending systemic disparities between Māori and non-Māori in Aotearoa, as we continue to face the most injustices. As a proud descendant from Ngāti Awa and my further Iwi, I want to make connective contributions where I can provide legal services or be part of the economic or social development of my Iwi. I would like to acknowledge Ngāti Awa for pursuing a nurturing and prosperous path for our Māori community. I commend the cultural strategy as I plan to increase mine, my family’s and friends Te Reo Māori fluency. I would also like to thank Ngāti Awa for supporting my tertiary studies. This scholarship has contributed to my success and has lessened my financial burden with tuition fees for my papers. I am grateful for your support and I appreciate Ngāti Awa continuing to support our rangatahi. Nāku, noa, nā Destiny Tupara Law Scholarship

The aims and aspirations of Kooti Rangatahi remain as valid today as when the initiative was first mooted and rolled out in Ngāti Porou by the now Chief District Court Judge, Hemi Taumāunu. From its early beginnings, Kooti Rangatahi quickly grew from the first Case being heard on Te Poho o Rāwiri marae in Gisborne to fourteen Kooti Rangatahi and two Pacifica Kooti around the country and it continues to gather momentum. As we know, the Corona Virus (COVID-19) and now the Delta variant, has had a profound effect on the hosting of Kooti Rangatahi on the marae and as such has meant that for several months of this year Te Whare o Toroa marae

HARBOUR BIODIVERSITY ON THE RISE AND STARFISH POTENTIAL New findings of the mussel restoration project in the Ōhiwa Harbour, Awhi Mai Awhi Atu, show that the mussel spat lines produce positive results beyond their brief – to reinvigorate the harbour’s mussel beds. A recent survey of the four mussel restoration stations in the harbour by project leader Dr Kura Paul-Burke revealed that each mussel on the line is home to an average of 128 individual small species. Given that there are 2,000 mussels on each line on average this makes for a great biodiversity and helps rebuild what is called a mid-water community of sorts. Compared to the sea floor where small sediment cores have identified an average 6587 individuals/m², about 70x more microorganisms are found on the lines. These initial findings suggest the mussel lines

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | 2021 Annual Report

may be a potential nursery habitat for a range of species. Juvenile snapper, parore and other fish were sighted in the mussel area. The lines also appear to contribute to mid-water biodiversity and estuarine foodwebs in the harbour, particularly when they are out of reach of starfish! Starfish are still present in the harbour, including in the last original mussel bed. A newly funded project is tackling the problem. Pātangaroa hua rau: investigating the economic potential of collagen and bioactive compounds which could be extracted from starfish. If this was found to be commercially viable, harvesting could help to manage over population in Ōhiwa Harbour. The project is funded by the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment, National Science Challenge Sustainable Seas Innovation Fund. It is based on a collaboration of Te Rōpū Kairangahau (representatives from Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa and Te Upokorehe), Cawthron Institute, Waikato University, and Plant and Food Research. The project compliments the Awhi Mai Awhi Atu project. Any financial returns of a potential product are intended to be returned to the harbour to help manage the long-term management of pātangaroa/seastars.

PĀTAKA IKA: DEEPWATER PĀTAKA Prior to COVID-19 the pātaka system was a way to utilise commercial vessels for customary catch, transferring it to freezers in order to provide for tangihanga and large hui when the need arose. When the country went into lockdown and people were confined to their homes, pātaka ika quickly became an important resource for Iwi and Hapū collectives around the motu, as they mobilised to support whānau in their communities. It was an unprecedented situation with some of the strictest regulations we’re likely to see in our lifetime and yet in seems the pātaka system was designed for this unusual environment. In the COVID-19 lockdown last year Ngāti Awa set about obtaining pātaka ika to distribute to Kaumātua. This was followed up during the Whakaari incident where pātaka ika was accessed to help feed our manuhiri and whānau. “In the old days people would take several days off to go fishing to supply the tangi, but people just don’t have the time anymore”. Whether it’s a change in people’s lifestyles, the weather or emergency situations like COVID-19, pātaka ika provides another means to ensure access to Kaimoana in times of need.

NZ FISHERY REGULATIONS New Zealand is considered a leader in fisheries management under a property-rights system that is unusual worldwide. NZ’s fishery policies are based on the Fisheries Amendment Act 1986 that implemented the quota management system (QMS) and the Treaty of Waitangi Fisheries Settlement Act 1992, which formally recognised Māori Customary, non-commercial fishing rights and rights to manage their fisheries. This guaranteed Māori 10% of quota for existing commercial fisheries placed in the QMS, 20% of any new fisheries brought subsequently into the QMS and 50% of Sealord Products LTD. In this regard, NZ is in the forefront of the property rights granted to its indigenous population, Māori. The Deed of Settlement 1992 and related legislation not only provides formal property rights but recognises the customary fishing rights and management practices of Māori due to their long-standing and cultural participation in the fishery. The property rights held by Māori under the Treaty of Waitangi (fisheries claims) Settlement Act 1992 that make them unique, as well as the rights held by other fishers within the QMS, are at risk from:

UNREGULATED GROWTH OF SPORTS FISHERIES The unregulated growth of sports fisheries presents a direct threat to the property rights held by Māori under the Treaty of Waitangi (fisheries) Settlement Act. The gradual reallocation of Māori fishing rights to new fisheries is inconsistent with the guarantees of the Deed of Settlement. As sports fishing fish mortality rises, the basis for quota as a property right is weakened as is the incentive for fishers to adhere to it. No reira, kia mataara tatou. Charlie Bluett Customary Fishery Manager

Proposed expansion of large Marine Protected areas (MPA’s), beyond those under the Marine Reserves Act 1971, in order to provide ecosystem-based fishery management. These large spatial reserve areas installed unilaterally undermine property rights to existing and new fisheries as well as customary access and management by Māori. Their implementation does not recognise the actions taken by Māori or other QMS quota holders to safeguard the marine environment. Gradual effective reduction of Māori quota within the Bluefin tuna quota management system through reallocation to the unregulated sports fishing industry.

As at 16 June 2021, TRONA received a total of 107 resource consents to review, assess and provide a cultural impacts assessment on. The data is made up of activities happening within our Ngāti Awa rohe. The graph (left) shows the type of activity the applications related to, and the number of consent applications we reviewed for each specific activity. Water take resource consent applications continue to be the largest number received, followed by earthworks, land use, subdivision, archaeological reports and discharge. These consents are received from Bay of Plenty Regional Council, Whakatāne District Council, Kawerau District Council, Consultants working on applicants behalf and/or the applicants directly.

MMS GP proposes to develop land at 77 Bunyan Road (the Site) into 267 lots comprising general residential lots, a retirement village and neighbourhood convenience retail (Lot 4), a Landscape Buffer Area (the LBA) (Lot 3), a Coastal Protection Zone (Lot 1), Urupa Buffer Area (Lot 2), Local Purpose Reserve (Lot 5) and land to be vested as road (Lot 6). We presented evidence at the Council hearing heard by two independent commissioners, we also appealed the decision by the commissioners to the Environment Court and then onto the High Court.

LEGISLATION AND PLANNING PROCESSES A number of legislative and planning processes are currently in progress but not yet complete. These include the reform of the Resource Management Act, the implementation of the National Policy Statement for Freshwater, the Regional Planning framework to give effect to the National Policy Statement for Freshwater which includes Te Mana o Te Wai, and Three Waters. Significant emphasis is being placed on improving the quality of freshwater. Te Mana o te Wai refers to the vital importance of water. When managing freshwater, it ensures the health and well-being of the water is protected and human health needs are provided for before enabling other uses of water. It expresses the special connection all New Zealanders have with freshwater. By protecting the health and well-being of freshwater we protect the health and well-being of our people and environments. Through engagement and discussion, regional councils, communities and tangata whenua will determine how Te Mana o te Wai is applied locally in freshwater management. With this in mind, we are currently in an interim period between the existing planning framework and the new. The application is currently being assessed against the existing planning framework. TRONA are focussed on the impacts of legislative changes on tangata whenua, hapū, whānau, and Iwi. Within this financial year we have continued to advocate for freshwater within our rohe. The following are complex applications and discussions are ongoing: • Cresswell NZ Ltd Nongfu Springs Ltd TRONA continue to oppose the granting of a water take to Creswell New Zealand Limited (Creswell) for a vast quantity of water. Namely, 1.1 billion litres (1.1 million cubic metres) of water annually over the life of a 25-year consent and the production of 3.7 million bottles per day (equating to 1.35 billion bottles per year for the next 25 years). • Ngāti Tūwharetoa Geothermal Assets – Variation of consent to continue discharging geothermal fluid to the Tarawera River. Ngāti Tuwharetoa Geothermal Assets (the Applicant) sought a s127 variation to its existing consent to extend its ability to discharge geothermal fluid into Tarawera River at its current rate (20,880 cubic metres per day and 870 cubic metres per hour). The current resource consent allowed discharge till January 2021, but the variation sought to extend for an additional 14 years to 1st January 2035. From 1st of January 2035 NTGA

propose to reduce the amount of fluid to 9,600 cubic metres per day: and 400 cubic metres per hour. TRONA assessed the effect of the additional 14 years of discharge to the Tarawera River including effects on the geothermal system. We proceeded to hearing to determine an outcome and the Applicant has since appealed that decision. Discussions are ongoing. • Fonterra Co-Operative Group discharge of dairy contaminants to Rangitāiki River Fonterra Co-Operative Group have prepared a resource consent application which seeks to discharge dairy factory waster to land and the Rangitāiki River from the Edgecumbe Site. Fonterra request a 27-year term for their consent. In the most recent proposal Fonterra will discharge 30,000 cubic metres per day of dairy factory wastewater to the Rangitāiki River, up to 7,500 cubic metres per day of distillery cooling water and discharge stormwater from the catchments of the dairy manufacturing facility to the Rangitāiki river and/or East Bank Road drain. TRONA and Rangitāiki Hapū Coalition are still in negotiations with the applicant and aim to finalise our position.

The importance of freshwater is highlighted as discussions and actions around freshwater continue to be significant, at central and local government, and for ourselves. This year we began a partnership with the Institute of Environmental Science and Research (ESR). This involved an assessment of monitoring tools, these outcomes are the starting point for the vision campaign that will informed the strategy. Through this work we are better able to understand the baseline health of our water sources from a Ngāti Awa perspective informed by our hapū. The project aims to build capacity and capability of our kaitaiki and hapū to have information to support good decision making.

BUILDING THE CAPACITY AND CAPABILITY OF OUR PEOPLE TO BE KAITIAKI Korehāhā Whakahau is the first iwi-led predator free 2050 project, administered by Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa. in the next five years, we are seeking to eradicate possums out of 4,700ha of whenua within the Ngāti Awa rohe, doing so without the use of toxins.

Korehāhā Whakahau commenced operational activity in late 2020. Since then, we have made significant progress, covering large portions of the southern and eastern ends of the Ngāti Awa Farm and establishing ourselves in Ōhope, Kōhī, and Mokorua Scenic Reserves. The operational progress is complemented by the emphasis we have placed on the development and training of our team. We have observed the growth, confidence, and fulfilment of the kaimahi, who are proud of the contribution they are making to the taiao and to the Iwi. We are developing a strong workforce with transferable skills and experience; looking ahead with anticipation at the possibilities for this project beyond possum eradication.

Marae Cluster Project SUMMARY

“Kia mau ki te tokanga nui a noho” The Marae Cluster project is funded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) Provincial Growth Fund which aims to lift productivity potential in Aotearoa provinces. The project aims to achieve the following objectives: a Immediate redeployment of vulnerable workers impacted by COVID-19 b Provide a programme of work for local tradesmen and contractors. c An opportunity to target Māori, Pasifika and other vulnerable workers that are not able to secure contracts through more substantial infrastructure project; d Give public confidence that renewed economic activity is underway through targeting regional assets that are highly visible to the community; and e Provide employment for ngā uri o Ngāti Awa. This project sets out the pathway to upskill and develop our Kaimahi while also renovating, and restoring our marae, which are taonga of our hapū.

THE IMPACTS FROM THIS PROJECT • Educational & Employment All kaimahi have been exposed to new learnings and gained work experience under the guidance of a Skills Lead and contractors. Work experience has included concreting, carpentry, painting and supporting contractors where possible. Contractors are looking beyond the project and indicated the potential to offer fulltime employment opportunities to Kaimaihi that demonstrate potential at the completion of this project. The project has been able to fully support Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa registered pakihi.

• Cultural The cultural impacts of this project have been significant, providing a safe and familiar working environment has allowed Kaimahi to flourish demonstrating great work ethic, the ability to learn new tasks quickly and has instilled a positive attitude to mahi, whānau, Hapū and Iwi. The project has given Kaimaihi a greater sense of belonging, they are more connected and feel proud of the transformation they are contributing to in the development and restoration of their respective Marae.

• Whānau / Community Whakawhānaungatanga, kotahitanga and, manaakitanga has been demonstrated across the Marae cluster with multiple working bees undertaken to support individual projects. Whānau, hapū and community have collaborated to tautoko the work that is happening at the marae. For the wider community the renovations and improvements are highly visible and provide positive confidence of renewed economic activity.

TRAINING We have teamed up with Vertical Horizonz New Zealand to upskill the Kaimahi working across the Marae Cluster project. Through this partnership, 27 Kaimahi have completed a Site Safe training workshop gaining a passport recognized by NZ construction sites; 10 Kaimahi have gained their Certificate in Pre-Trade Construction (level 3) which includes manual handling, first aid, forklift, scaffolding, and working at heights. These qualifications have built the capacity and capability of our Kaimahi.

WORDS FROM OUR KAIMAHI

MARAE INCLUDED

“I feel very privileged to lead this once in a lifetime opportunity on behalf of our whānau and future generations, to be able to fulfil some of our long term hapū goals, to enable better access, to beautify and enhance the mana and mauri of our Marae. I am a firm believer that our Marae have a big role in terms of growing and fostering our whānau and this project has given us the unique opportunity to do so” -Larni Keylar (Work Site Manager for Tuariki Marae)

• Te Hokowhitu a Tū Marae

“Our working group is flexible and consists of diverse range of trades skills and experience. Working on our marae has instilled a profound feeling of pride in us. It’s rewarding to know that the work we conducted on our marae contributes to the hapū journey to being a cohesive hapū with a functional marae complex.” – Tawera Simpson-Rangi (General Labourer for Te Rangihouhiri II Marae)

MINISTRY OF BUSINESS, INNOVATION, AND EMPLOYMENT We have had two different contract managers assigned to this project through the duration. The relationship with MBIE has been very good, with Carol Ngawati completing two visits of the marae throughout her time as current contract manager. One visit in July and the second in November which allowed her to see the progress and changes in each project. It has been great for her to visualise the work on hand, meet the kaimahi, and see for herself the type of renovation issues marae has been dealing with throughout this project. The new contingency and repurposing application process that MBIE implemented in June 2021 has proven to be time consuming and has caused delays in progress.

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | 2021 Annual Report

COVID-19 COVID-19 restrictions and lockdown has impacted some marae completion timelines. In addition, the national building material shortage has caused concern. To mitigate risks, the marae cluster was encouraged to confirm material orders with suppliers, eliminating the potential for incurring increased costs, in addition, when the district returned to L2 restrictions, suppliers were able to deliver back-ordered goods enabling our marae projects to commence work with all building supplies on hand. Other concerns for the organisation included lost time and continuing the payment of wages to employees. With the guidance of MBIE and the Finance Team, the Government wage subsidy programme provided the financial security needed at that time. Time extensions have been approved for projects that clearly demonstrated the need, as well as requests for additional staff to further support project completions within their agreed timeframes.

CONCLUSION In March 2021 the first marae commenced the renovation work and all 12 marae have continued to progress. Most marae are on track to conclude their renovation works before December 17, 2021, with the exclusion of Rangataua Marae who is due to fully complete in January 2022 and Puawairua Marae with their end date in June 2022. We look forward to celebrating the re-opening of these taonga.

Kōhao Rau Rangatahi Rau Report In ANZAC weekend of this year (23rd-26th April), over 40 Ngāti Awa rangatahi representing 18 of our Ngāti Awa hapū gathered from around Aotearoa at Te Hokowhituā-Tū Marae. Kōhao Rau Rangatahi Rau, was a weekend inspired by the whakataukī ‘Ko Awanuiārangi, kōhao rau, tangata rau’ celebrating the abundance, prosperity, and potential that is our inheritance as urī of Awanuiārangi. Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa generously supported the wānanga, as a kaupapa lead completely by Ngāti Awa rangatahi, for Ngāti Awa rangatahi.

Whakawhānaungatanga, workshops, kai, kōrero, wānanga, and visiting sites of significance to our Iwi characterised the wānanga, bringing together a rich tapestry of interests, backgrounds, and life experience. Our kaikōrero and panel discussions evidenced Ngāti Awa excellence across a range of fields and kaupapa, giving so much for our generation to be proud of and inspired to contribute to. At the conclusion of our time together was the acknowledgement that Ngāti Awa rangatahi have the energy, skills, and desire to contribute to the Iwi, and are looking for opportunities to do so, under the guidance and direction of those who fought for our future so far. Opportunities to return home and learn more about who we are, are invaluable and have a significant impact on Iwi identity and pride. Ngāti Awa rangatahi feel strongly about the issues facing our Iwi, and, with guidance and support, want to be involved in creating solutions. We look forward to seeing more opportunities for Ngāti Awa rangatahi to connect, learn, and contribute meaningfully in the years to come.

E mihi ana ki ngā ringa āwhina katoa, i tautokohia tēnei o ngā kaupapa whakahirahira. Mei kore ake koutou!

On a fundamental level the project aims to improve the quality of waterways on the three farms under Ngāti Awa Group Holdings Ltd (NAGHL). The community aim is to provide economic growth and potential through redeployment and training opportunities within the wider Whakatāne area.

STAFF / KAIMAHI The project workforce has derived from a rapid recruitment effort in December 2020 and has since flourished into a dedicated team of 26. There has been a strong drive for Leadership within the team and this concept was put to practice with the appointment of 1 Team Lead and 2 Leading Hands as support in addition to the Project Manager. This model has been key in the success of the project to date and immanent in the growth of the team.

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | 2021 Annual Report

Ara-Wai Whakahau is a three-phase project aimed to improve the quality of waterways on Tumurau, Ngakauroa and Ngāti Awa Farms. Phase 1 has included of mass eradication of plant pests through spray release and manual removal over 9ha of farm. There has been the erection of 20,000m of fence lines along paddock waterbodies to eliminate stock access, resolving stock waste. The team have had their first delivery of native plants and have begun planting these along Wairere stream. The use of native plants results in an effective filtration system as their roots act as a natural sieve to catch waste. These measures will ensure the drastic reduction in chemical, faecal and sediment pollution to the waterways, leaving fresh water for the farm and fish livelihood. Phase Two (2022) will involve the completion of the remainder of works from 2021 and pest (animal and plant) eradication of newly identified areas both on the farm and in the community. Phase Three (2023) will primarily focus on the planting and pest control maintenance of all areas.

CONTINUITY

REDEPLOYMENT

The Ara-Wai Whakahau project has now surpassed the halfway point and the focus for the Project Management Office is employment continuity. Our aim is to expand professional portfolio’s and increase employment attractiveness through effective training programmes, pre-apprenticeship initiatives and redeployment opportunities.

The Ara-Wai Whakahau project is regrettably only funded for one year. It is the aspiration of the Project Management Office and Ngāti Awa Group Holdings Ltd to expand this project for the next 2 – 3 years. This benefits both the project and staff, by ensuring the continued existence of phase 1 works and by supporting our people into long term, meaningful employment. We are currently investigating all relevant funding paths.

FORMAL TRAINING Community relationships and networks have been essential in exposing the project to various training with continued interest and engagement to embark on more. The team have already achieved a number of new skills, qualifications and valued experience as shown below. FORMAL TRAINING QUALIFICATION First Aid Certificate in Workplace First Aid GrowSafe Certificate in GrowSafe Standard Chainsaws NZQA unit standardsw 6916 and 6917 Fire Warden Certification as a Fire Warden Fire Extinguisher Certification in Hand Operated Fire Fighting Equipment Agriculture Level 3 New Zealand Certificate in Agriculture Level 3 Drone Operator Certification in Drone Operation 101 / 102 Leadership Certification in Leadership and Management Part 1

STATUS Completed by 23 staff Completed by 17 staff Completed by 19 staff Completed by 3 staff Completed by 3 staff

Completed by 6 staff 13 staff to complete Completed by 2 staff Completed by 2 staff

INFORMAL TRAINING The Ara-Wai Whakahau staff have completed informal training within the team. Individuals who are experienced in mahi kai have been sharing their knowledge with their colleagues through coordinated workshops. Such works include, fried bread making, hīnaki assembly and tuna catching, gathering kaimoana, puha and watercress harvesting and butchery, from beast to packaging. The training has been a fantastic tool to increase morale and comradery.

In addition to further funding, we are looking at other avenues for redeployment and have secured some partnerships with local businesses and initiatives to pathway the team into. New Zealand Autotraps are a local business who have offered training and upskilling in trap assembly and manufacturing. This organisation has advised their intent to offer permanent employment in the coming future. The Technical Training Pilot (another Provincial Growth funded project) have offered several spaces on the Pre-apprenticeship programme in partnership with Extreme Boats and MAST Academy. Kaimahi will enrol into a Boat Building short course and complete on-the-job training at Extreme Boats. There is also the possibility of staff securing an apprenticeship with Extreme upon concluding their short course. Finally, Morrison Fencing Ltd were successful in the fencing tender for this project and had committed two fencing apprenticeships to the Ara-Wai Whakahau project. Two of our staff had successfully secured and transitioned into these positions in March 2021. The organisation has since approached the project with a third apprenticeship on offer. The feedback from both of the apprentices has been extremely positive and encouraging of the relationship between Morrison Fencing Ltd and Ngāti Awa Group Holdings Ltd. These redeployment ventures are exciting steps towards better employment and economic growth for Whakatāne.

Tē Mānuka Tūtahi Marae Ko Ngāti Awa te toki tē tangatanga i te rā, tē ngohengohe i te wai

For 2021 it was imperative that we maintained a strategic approach to the delivery of our Operating Visions and Objectives. Tracking performance trends since the arrival of COVID-19 in early 2020 have identified focus areas where the pandemic has presented opportunities for growth. A surge in Conference and Events is a clear indicator that we continue to keep our strategy relevant and maintain a competitive advantage in a rapidly changing environment.

EVENT S

An increased amount of pressure was placed on infrastructure, the foundational services necessary to function adequately. This is where we directed resources and funding to optimize the long term sustainability of delivery frameworks.

100 % INCREASE IN CONFERENCE AND EVENTS We have experienced a one hundred percent increase in conference and events over the past 12 months. Notable events include the Whakaari Eruption anniversary which required several months of meticulous planning under Alert level 2 guidelines. The occasion was livestreamed around the world. Te Mānuka Tūtahi Marae was the venue of choice for the Ministry of Justice Wai 2660 – Marine Coastal (Takutai Moana) Inquiry. A six-day hire was secured with an anticipated

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | 2021 Annual Report

attendance of up to 100 people daily. The Ministry have signaled their intention to rebook for the Wai 2700 – Mana Wāhine Hearing next year. Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiarangi held a double graduation event over two days, the first of its kind due to the 2020 postponement under the Pandemic. Strict Health and Safety measures were implemented to cater for the influx of graduands and their families. The Graduation ceremonies were a huge success. The welcomed boost in event and conference hire was not without its challenges. With zoom capabilities being an essential form of communication, we were faced with major connectivity issues coupled with inadequate lighting and a need to review how we delivered events to adapt to demand. Resolutions came by way of much needed external funding.

SAVINGS OVER 5 YEARS – WI-FI CONNECTIVITY

In conjunction with Provincial Growth funding and Te Puni Kokiri, Tē Mānuka Tūtahi Marae was a recipient for the Marae Digital Connectivity Fund. We received fully funded audiovisual equipment, security cameras and a 5 year paid managed Wi-Fi connection. This package allows us to offer a higher quality audio visual experience, maintain a solid internet connection from inside the Wharenui and expand signal range throughout the complex.

RESOU R

Pandemic impacts on the Tourism and Hospitality sectors continue to be evident the world over.

SAVING

Ngāti Awa, whose bindings cannot be loosened by the sun or softened by the rains.

INCREASE IN RESOURCE CAPACITY

Te Mānuka Tūtatahi purchased essential equipment due to the surge in visitor numbers attached to events. 20 brand new tables, 150 chairs, 3 urns and assorted kitchen equipment have allowed us to save approximately $5k in equipment hire per year. It has also eased the pressure with timing constraints impacted by the lack of resourcing.

Chairman’s Report

NGĀTI AWA GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED NGĀTI AWA ASSET HOLDINGS LIMITED

Whakaupoko Ngā hapū o Ngāti Awa can be justifiably proud with the record result the Ngāti Awa Group (Ngāti Awa Group Holdings Limited and Ngāti Awa Asset Holdings Limited together herein referred to as the “Group”) has achieved this financial year. The year has presented many challenges due to the ongoing impacts of COVID-19. Its effect not only on tourism, but also on the SME sector generally, cannot be overstated and both are areas in which the Group is an active participant. The other overarching matter your Board has been responding to is the ongoing impacts of the Whakaari eruption both in terms of supporting our personnel, and in assisting with the inquiries being conducted by officials. The Directors and management have and continue, to cooperate fully with these inquiries. In achieving a record result the Group has benefited from a deliberate strategy to diversify the business interests over recent years. Fundamental to achieving this result has been the hard work and commitment of Tracey Hook, our CEO, and her team. In spite of the extreme challenges Tracey and her team have faced, this is a very significant achievement and the Board would like to record its appreciation. Tracey will provide more detail in her report on the specific results achieved suffice to say here that the $14.7m and $7.3m net profits from NAGHL and NAAHL respectively are an outstanding financial result.

TE ARONGA WHAKAMUA Your Board, while recognising the importance of achieving strong financial outcomes, is also conscious there are other key imperatives that must be achieved if ngā hapū are to grow and flourish. For the future your Board will be looking to report to you on Outcomes that have been agreed and signed off by Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa (“TRONA”). These Outcomes are set out in our Strategic Plan and are encompassed in the whakataukī:

Kia whakanui I ngā rawa o ngā mahi ōhanga hei painga mō ngā Iwi o Ngāti Awa To sustainably maximise economic benefits for the people of Ngāti Awa.

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | 2021 Annual Report

We apply a wide interpretation to economic benefits so as to encompass the general well-being of Ngā Uri o Ngāti Awa. These oranga guided by our five pou or putanga: Kaitiakitanga (high performing portfolio); Ngāti Awatanga (supporting TRONA outcomes); Kotahitanga (high performing organisation); Whānaungatanga (effective relationships); and, Manaakitanga (sustainability). Already we have achieved measurable success within some of these putanga. For a number of years (under the Whānaungatanga pou) we have been in a partnership with some of our Ngāti Awa Hapū in our two dairy operations. In more recent times we have entered into the Matai Pacific Iwi Collective kIwifruit partnership (involving ourselves, Te Arawa Group Holdings Ltd and Rotoma No. 1 Incorporation) and the Māori private equity fund Te Pūia Tāpapa. Both are proving to be successful high returning investments. Pou Whānaungatanga not only helps build relationships it also serves to provide greater opportunities and reduce risk.

This year we commenced the Ara-Wai Whakahau Ngāti Awa Farms Fencing and Riparian Planting Programme which has been fully funded by the government’s regional economic development and investment unit – Kānoa REDIU. This project, through the fencing, weeding, spot spraying, clearing, pest control and riparian planting improves and protects the waterways quality on our three farms, this is in adherence with our Manaakitanga pou. There are other social procurement objectives achieved through this project include: • redeployment and (re)employment of those that have been impacted by Whaakari and COVID-19;

Through this programme we have been able to employ and train 26 people. At June 2021, 58% of these kaimahi are Ngāti Awa, with a number moving through to take up apprenticeships. During the year we worked with Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa to develop a “Whenua Policy”. The aim of this policy is to enable hapū to develop and establish their own economic base by leveraging off Group assets. This policy is designed for hapū to have a more hands on approach than the Group could otherwise manage and deliver better, more holistic economic returns. At the time of writing we are working alongside two hapū and 1 Lands Trust to realise opportunities: Te Rāhui Lands Trust with the proposed Boat Harbour development; and, Ngāti Hokopū ki te Whare o Toroa and Wharepaia for a housing development within the Wairaka precinct. I am hopeful of being in a position to report successful outcomes on both these, and other, projects in my next report. Focusing on sustainable outcomes that are framed by our pou will enable us to think beyond short-term gains and create long term value that benefits all our stakeholders including our staff, our community and our environment. In closing I take this opportunity to thank Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa for placing their trust and faith in the Board, and to my fellow Directors for their dedication and support in what has been a very challenging twelve months.

• the creation of employment and training opportunities for Ngā Uri o Ngāti Awa and others; and • providing contracting opportunities for our people.

This year we refreshed our Mahere Rautaki Strategic Plan for the period 2020 to 2025. This happened earlier than expected as we recognized that post the Whakaari eruption, and in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, a revised approach was necessary.

Whilst this is a very positive result, and our operating cash flows are positive, it must be emphasised that this does not translate to a significant increase in cash profit.

NGĀTI AWA WHĀNAU EMPLOYED NGĀTI AWATANGA We continue to focus on Ngāti Awa employment through all our business sectors. We are challenged in recruitment as we constantly strive to seek Ngāti Awa talent throughout the motu. We now have for the first time in NAGHL’s history a finance team that are 100% Ngāti Awa. Whilst employment is key, we have extended our commitment to Ngāti Awatanga by being intentional in our procurement processes, seeking out Ngāti Awa Pakihi, encouraging their inclusion and ensuring that during evaluation there is recognition of these whakapapa links. This has proven successful in several significant projects awarded in the Ara-wai Whakahau project.

NGĀ PĀMU As mentioned in the NAGHL Chair’s report, we were successful in receiving a $3.5 million grant from Kānoa through the jobs for nature funding. This project was named Ara-Wai Whakahau and it delivers riparian weeding, fencing, and planting of our waterways and streams on our three farms. This is a showcase for social procurement, apprenticeship placement, employment (of which 58% are of Ngāti Awa descent) and training pathways that have given this team many different skills for future success. Our focus has been on our farm operations across our two dairy farms and drystock farm. We’ve appointed a new farm manager who brings new ideas and innovation to his farming approach on our 1,117-hectare drystock farm between Ōhope and Whakatāne. Additionally, the Tumurau farm contract manager changed at the commencement of the current milking season. The farm is 315 hectares of effective farm area. The focus has been on decreasing the water take from the Ohinetewai Stream, improving operational efficiency with new plant in the dairy shed and establishing a solution for a new effluent system.

Our forestry licences consist of 6,889 hectares on the northern boundary of the Kaingaroa Forest and 1,495 hectares east of Rotoehu. We are fortunate to be in a 10-year review cycle and as such negotiations continue with the licensee, Timberlands Limited. We continue to operate the tour to Moutohorā, the White Island Rendezvous Motel and the White Island Café. FY21 has not been impeded by COVID-19 lockdowns, however it has been impacted by lack of visitation, like most other hospitality and tourism businesses in Aotearoa. Despite this, motel occupancy and café sales have remained steady.

PAEMAHI MATUA

New Zealand Police

The Strand Development

In May 2020, NAGHL, TRONA and New Zealand Police entered into a Heads of Agreement whereby we foster our relationship regarding investigating the viability of and progressing the development of the proposed Police Hub.

The site where the former Army Hall was located on The Strand has been sitting idle for some time. It is a location that begs opportunity, within proximity and to complement Te Mānuka Tūtahi, directly opposite our White Island Rendezvous Motel, and within metres of the passenger launch departing for our Moutohorā tour. We are in the conceptual design phase of developing a building that will be a vibrant hub to base our cultural tourism product, transfer our café and hospitality offerings and create revenue opportunities from office lease arrangements. The government’s regional economic development and investment unit – Kānoa REDIU, has committed $7.6 million into the development of the building by way of equity. We anticipate the project will be completed in 2023.

We have been in discussions to build a new Police Hub in Whakatāne at the current site of our head office situated at 4-10 Louvain Street. The location is ideal as it backs onto the Whakatāne District Court – this is land that is also owned by us. This provides an opportunity to enter a long-term lease arrangement with New Zealand Police, creating new lease revenue for the group. We are in the early stages of this development. Project Whero – Ngakauroa Our dairy farm located near Te Teko next to the Rangitaiki River is a prime site for growing kIwifruit and as such early stage feasibility is underway to convert 16 hectares into growing red kIwifruit, hence the name Project Whero. This is an exciting development providing operational diversification alongside a well-performing dairy farm.

PAE TAWHITI Although challenges associated with COVID-19 will continue to put pressure on our tourism sector, our work program remains exciting and fulsome. The focus for 2022 will be on people. Our people are our greatest asset and are crucial to help us strive and deliver the best results possible for Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa. We will continue to build and sustain a principled, high performing team as the focus will be on a best of class organisational culture. With a senior management team consisting of the Chief Financial Officer and General Manager of Tourism, we have added a third member being the Chief Operating Officer position to manage the collective assets, seek revenue opportunities, and deliver the projects from in-house. We are also mindful of our Kaitiaki responsibilities and will drive hard to measure, track and report carbon footprint and conduct business that positively contributes to climate change. There is a balance between growing the putea and growing our resilience to the effects of climate change.

Conceptual Design at The Strand

NGĀ WHAKAMIHI Lastly and most importantly, I would like to express sincere appreciation and thanks to the NAGHL Board, Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa Board, Te Kāhui Kaumātua, and hardworking kaimahi. Combined, you have all been with us through the challenges, providing wisdom, support, dedication, enthusiasm, and energy - giving confidence to continue to adapt, deliver and grow towards a sustainable future for the mokopuna of Ngāti Awa.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2021 1

Statement of accounting policies for the year ended 30 June 2021

1.1 Reporting entity Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa ("the Rūnanga") and its subsidiaries (together "the Group") manage the cultural, social, political and economic base of the Ngāti Awa Iwi. The Rūnanga was incorporated under the Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa Act 1988, which was subject to the Māori Trust Board Act 1955. Under Section 5 of Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa Act 2005, the Rūnanga ceased to be a Māori Trust Board from 25 March 2005, but continues as the same body as established by the Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa Act 1988. The Rūnanga is domiciled in New Zealand. The address of the registered office is 10 Louvain Street, Whakatāne.

Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 2.1 Basis of preparation The Rūnanga is a registered charity under the Charities Act 2005 and its financial statements have been prepared in accordance with that Act, the Financial Reporting Act 2013 and as required by the Charter of Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa. The Rūnanga is a public benefit entity (“PBE”) for the purposes of financial reporting. A PBE is an entity whose primary objective is to provide goods or services for community or social benefit and where any equity has been provided with a view of supporting that primary objective rather than for a financial return to equity holders. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“NZ GAAP”). The financial statements comply with the PBE Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime (“PBE Standards RDR”) as appropriate for Tier 2 not‑for‑profit public benefit entities, for which reduced disclosure regime concessions have been applied. The Rūnanga qualifies for Tier 2 as it has total expenses less than $30 million and does not have public accountability. The presentation and functional currency is New Zealand Dollars (NZD). The measurement base applied is historical cost, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets and liabilities as identified in these accounting policies. The Group consists of the Rūnanga and its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures as listed in note 25. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Whilst the group has negative working capital balance as at 30 June 2021 this is due to a portion of the current banking facility ($3,200,000) having a maturity date of March 2022. The loan itself is secured over the property at Braemar road as disclosed within note 23. The group intends to renegotiate its banking facility during the 2021/2022 financial year and the directors believe that they will continue to have strong support of the bank. The directors have considered the current forecast trading of the group for a period of at least 12 months from the date these financial

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | 2021 Annual Report

statements were signed, and the likelihood of continued bank support and are satisfied that the going concern basis is appropriate. Basis of Preparing Consolidated Financial Statements Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are those entities controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Rūnanga, that is, the Rūnanga has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The Rūnanga's consolidated subsidiary companies generally have an accompanying shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The Rūnanga's consolidated subsidiary trusts are where the Rūnanga appoints all the trustees of the trust and their activities are conducted on behalf of the Rūnanga. The results and financial position of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive revenue and expense and statement of financial position from the date control is gained up to the date control ceases. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements using the acquisition method. The consideration for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interest issued by the Rūnanga. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition‑by‑acquisition basis, the Rūnanga recognises any non‑controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non‑controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's net assets. The surplus or deficit and each component of other comprehensive revenue and expense of subsidiaries are attributed to equity holders of the Rūnanga and to the non‑controlling interests. Losses which result in non‑controlling interests having a deficit balance are only attributed to non‑controlling interests if the non‑controlling interests have a binding obligation and are able to make an additional investment to cover the losses. Associates

The Group recongnises the share of the net surplus of associates in the Statement of comprehensive revenue and expense. The investment held on the satement of financial position reflects the Group’s share of net asssets of the associate. Joint Venture Receivables

The joint ventures are established by a contractual agreement. The Rūnanga’s share of the net surplus of the joint ventures is recognised in the statement of comprehensive revenue and expense. The investment held on the statement of financial position reflects the Rūnanga’s share of net assets of the joint venture. Transactions Eliminated on Consolidation

The effects of intra‑group transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

TE RŪ N A N G A O NG ĀT I AWA

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2021 2.2 Revenue

Exchange & Non‑Exchange Revenue

For exchange contracts, revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to The Rūnanga. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration. The extent to which economic benefit is assessed is based on reaching milestones in the contract or matching revenue with total expenditure expected to be incurred. For non‑exchange revenue, the revenue is recognised in surplus or deficit when the Rūnanga becomes entitled to receive (or has received) the funds. The receipts are recognised as revenue in surplus or deficit, except where conditions which require the grant to be used as specified or returned remain unfulfilled at balance date, in which case the related amount is recognised as a liability. In addition, a liability is recognised in respect of other return clauses (if any) where it is probable that payment will be required. Judgement is often required in determining the timing of revenue recongition for contracts that span a balance date and multi‑year contracts. Grant Income

Grant income (from the Government or other parties) are assessed against the criteria for non‑exchange or exchange transactions and treated accordingly. Dividend Income

Dividend income is recognised in surplus or deficit on the date the Group’s right to receive payment is established. Farming Operations Income

Farming operations income includes dairy income and livestock sales. Income is recognised in surplus or deficit when the revenue associated with the transactions can be measured reliably. Revenues from the sale of goods are recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred, the Group retains neither involvement nor control over the goods sold, it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Group and the costs incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Rental Income

Rental income is recognised in surplus or deficit on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. Other Income

Other income is recognised in surplus or deficit when the revenue associated with the transactions can be measured reliably for the rendering of goods and services. Revenue from the sale of goods are recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred, the Group retains neither involvement nor control over the goods sold, it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Group and the costs incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Revenue for services provided under exchange transactions are recognised on a percentage of completion basis, as the services are provided. Net Financing (Expense)/Income

Net financing income represents financing income less financing expenses. Financing income comprises interest

income received on funds invested that are recognised in surplus or deficit. Financing expenses comprise interest paid on borrowings. Interest income is recognised in surplus or deficit as the income accrues on an effective interest basis. Any fees and directly related transaction costs that are an integral part of earning interest income are recognised over the expected life of the investment, that is, these costs are recognised evenly in proportion to the investment amount outstanding over the period to maturity. 2.3 Expenses

Operating Leases

Operating lease payments where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased items are included in equal instalments over the term of the lease and expensed to surplus or deficit. Lease incentives received are recognised over the term of the lease as an integral part of the total lease payments. Grants and sponsorships

Grants and sponsorship costs are recognised as an expense in surplus or deficit (and as a liability) when the Rūnanga has a constructive or actual obligation to make the payment. This is usually when the Rūnanga has entered into an agreement with, or otherwise notified the recipient of the agreed amount. The Rūnanga considers at each balance date whether it is probable that the recipient will be required to repay the grant or sponsorship under the terms and conditions of the agreement, in which case a receivable would be recognised and the grant expense reversed where this is recoverable. 2.4 Taxation

Māori Authority Tax Credits

The Group has Māori Authority status. Entities in the Group are tax exempt except for Ngāti Awa Asset Holdings Limited which has a tax liability of 17.5%. Taxes paid by Ngāti Awa Asset Holdings Limited generate Māori Authority Credits, which are tax credits available to pass onto its shareholder. Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa recognises a tax receivable from the IRD for the Māori Authority Credits received from Ngāti Awa Asset Holdings Limited in the period in which the credits have been distributed. Income Tax

Income tax is recognised in surplus or deficit as tax expense, except when it relates to items directly credited to equity, in which case it is recorded in equity, or where it arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, in which case it is included in the determination of goodwill. Current tax is the expected tax payable on taxable income for the period, based on tax rates (and tax laws) which are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and including any adjustments for tax payable in previous periods. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable). Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only to the extent that they relate to income taxes imposed by the same taxation authority and there is a legal right and intention to settle on a net basis and it is allowed under tax law.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2021 Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised where the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the consolidated statement of financial position differs from its tax base, except for differences arising on: ‑ The initial recognition of goodwill ‑ The initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit, and ‑ Investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities where the Rūnanga is able to control the timing of the reversal of the difference and it is probable that the difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Recognition of deferred tax assets is restricted to those instances where it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the difference can be utilised. 2.5 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes deposits held at call with banks and other short term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of less than 3 months. 2.6 Trade and Other Receivables Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost on an effective interest basis with any expected losses recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. Bad debts are written off during the year in which they are identified. 2.7 Biological assets and agricultural produce (i) Livestock Livestock is carried at fair value where fair value is based on the market price of livestock of similar age and gender. Gains and losses on changes in fair value are recognised in surplus or deficit. Livestock consists of sheep and cattle. (ii) Biological Assets Farm Woodlot

The Farm Woodlot asset represents standing trees at fair value less estimated point of sale costs. The farm woodlot asset is a consumable biological asset. Any movement in valuation is recognised in surplus or deficit. 2.8 Investments Investments are carried at fair value unless they are not quoted in an active market and their fair value cannot be reliably measured. The fair value of such investments is reliably measurable where the variability in the range for a reasonable fair value estimate is not significant or probabilities of the various estimates within the range of fair values can be reasonably assessed and used in estimating fair value. 2.9 Investment property Investment properties are stated at fair value. Any movement on revaluation is recognised in surplus or deficit. Management test fair value annually with an independent assessment not more than five yearly intervals. 2.10 Forestry Land Assets Forestry land assets represent the land assets owned with long term lease to forestry companies. Forestry land assets are stated at fair value. Any movement in fair value is recognised in surplus or deficit.

2.11 Intangible assets Carbon credits

Intangible assets include carbon credits acquired by way of a Government grant and are recognised at fair value. Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation are credited to other comprehensive revenue and expense except to the extent they reverse a previous decrease recognised in surplus or deficit. Decreases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation are recognised in other comprehensive revenue and expense to the extent they reverse a previous increase, any further decrease will be recognised in surplus or deficit. Fish quota

Fish quota shares received by way of settlement are recognised at their fair value at the date of settlement and subsequently carried at cost less impairment. Fish quota is issued into perpetuity and therefore has an indefinite life. Given this, fish quota is not amortised, although it is tested annually for impairment. Amortisation

Amortisation is recognised in the surplus or deficit on a straight‑line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use. 2.12 Property, plant and equipment All owned items of property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses with the exception of the Ngāti Awa Farm which is recorded at deemed cost. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits or service potential associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Cultural Assets

The cultural assets category includes carvings and flax tukutuku, these assets have been recorded at deemed cost. Te Mānuka Tūtahi Marae is carried at an assigned value on receipt from the Crown plus capital improvements. As cultural assets tend to have an indefinite life and are generally not of a depreciable nature, depreciation is not applicable. (i) Depreciation The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: Class of asset depreciated Buildings Farm equipment Office Furniture and equipment Motor vehicles & vessels Cultural assets

Estimated useful life 40 years 3‑20 years 3‑10 years 3‑15 years N/A

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at every reporting date.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2021 2.13 Financial Assets Financial instruments

A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risk and rewards of the asset. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled. Financial instruments comprise trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables. Financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs unless they are carried at fair value through profit or loss in which case the transaction costs are recognised in the profit or loss. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available‑for‑sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at balance date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price; the appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current ask price. The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification. The Group classifies financial assets into categories depending on their contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing financial assets. The categories of financial assets are: (i) Financial assets at amortised cost Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses) together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the Statement of comprehensive revenue and expense. (ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assetsí cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains/(losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method.

Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other gains/(losses) and impairment expenses are presented as a separate line item in the Statement of comprehensive revenue and expense. (iii) Financial assets at fair value through Profit or Loss (FVPL) Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises. Financial Liabilities

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings. The Group classifies its financial liabilities as financial liabilities at amortised cost. The classification of financial liabilities is determined on initial recognition. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value, and in the case of loans and borrowings, include directly attributable transaction costs. All financial liabilities of the Group are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit loss. Impairment of receivables

The Group assesses, on a forward‑looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by PBE IPSA 41, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. The recoverable amount of the Group’s investments in receivables carried at amortised cost is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows. Impairment losses on an individual basis are determined by an evaluation of the exposures on an instrument by instrument basis. All individual instruments that are considered significant are subject to this approach. 2.14 Impairment of Non‑financial Assets The carrying amounts of the Group’s non‑financial assets are reviewed at each balance date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount or recoverable service amount (“recoverable amount”) of the asset is estimated. If the estimated recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the asset is written down to its estimated recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive revenue and expense in surplus or deficit. The estimated recoverable amount of assets is the greater of their fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

TE RŪN A N G A O NG ĀT I AWA

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2021 For cash generating assets the estimated recoverable amount is determined by estimating future cash flows from the use and ultimate disposal of the asset and discounting these to their present value using a pre‑tax discount rate that reflects current market rates and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash flows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. For non‑cash generating assets the estimated recoverable amount is determined by estimating the depreciated replacement cost of the asset. The depreciated replacement cost is measured as the reproduction or replacement cost of the asset, whichever is lower, less accumulated depreciation calculated on the basis of such cost, to reflect the already consumed or expired service potential of the asset. An impairment loss on non‑financial assets which are carried at fair value is applied to the other comprehensive revenue and expense but only to the extent that prior year gains are available to offset the impairment loss. All other impairment losses are recognised in surplus or deficit. 2.15 Trade and Other Payables Trade and other payables are measured initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 2.16 Term Loans Term loans are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Term loans are subsequently stated at amortised cost. If the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer payment of a liability for at least twelve months after balance date, then the term loan will be classified as a current liability. 2.17 Employee Benefits

Salaries, Wages and Annual Leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non‑monetary benefits annual leave and expected to be settled within twelve months of reporting date, are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Long Service Leave

Long service leave benefits are accrued in other payables using the present value of net future cash flows. 2.18 Goods and services tax These financial statements have been prepared on a basis exclusive of GST with the exception of trade receivables and trade payables that have been included on a GST inclusive basis.

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | 2021 Annual Report

2.19 Fair value estimation The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the statement of financial position date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is based on the current bid price. The fair value of financial and non financial assets that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at balance date. Techniques include estimated discounted cash flows which are used to determine fair value for the financial instruments with no quoted market price. 2.20 Capital Risk Management The Group manages net assets attributable to the members. The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so it can continue to provide benefits for the Groups members and beneficiaries and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The Group does not have any externally imposed capital requirements. 2.21 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. ‑ Notes 12 & 13, key assumptions underlying the valuation of investments not traded in an active market; ‑ Note 15, key assumptions underlying the investment property valuation; ‑ Note 16, key assumptions underlying the valuation of the biological assets; ‑ Note 17, key assumptions underlying the valuation of forestry land; ‑ Note 19, key assumptions underlying the impairment testing of fish quota.

The Māori Fisheries Act 2004 places restrictions on the sale of the MNZ shares where the shares can only be sold to either another Mandated Iwi Organisation or Te Ohu Kai Moana. The fair value of the MNZ income shares is based on cash flows calculated on an annual basis from 2022 to 2026 and a terminal value based on cash flows in 2026 with an assumed growth factor of 3.3%p.a. (2020: 1.5% p.a.) and a post‑tax discount rate of 6.0% (2020: 6.0%). The MNZ shares are not actively traded and have no voting rights, due to this and the restrictions on sale, a further discount of 30% has been applied to determine the fair value. The shares have been valued at $2.08 million (2020: $2.08 million). Direct Capital IV Limited Partnership

The Group has invested in Direct Capital IV Limited Partnership. Direct Capital IV invests in private equity opportunities with the intention of realising these investments and returning capital and capital gains to the partners over a 10 year time frame.

* Amortisation of Nil (2020: $112k) is included in depreciation and amortisation expense in the statement of comprehensive revenue and expense. (i) Fish Quota Fish quota is an intangible asset that provides annual catch entitlements for fish stock species. The quota is issued into perpetuity and has been classed as an indefinite life asset. The asset is not amortised, it is tested annually for impairment. The recoverable amount of the fish quota has been determined as the cash generating unit associated with the asset. Cash flows have been projected into perpetuity using a long term growth rate of inflation of 3.3% (2020: 1.5%) and discounted using the entity's post tax weighted average cost of capital of 6.0% (2020: 6.0%). The carrying value of the fishing quota is $3.5 million (2020: $3.5 million).

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | 2021 Annual Report

Management does not expect that a reasonable change in key assumptions would result in a material reduction in the recoverable amount of the fish quota below its carrying amount. (ii) Whakatāne Airport The Rūnanga has a right to receive at no cost the Whakatāne airport land if the use of the land ceases to be that of an airport. There is nil value attached to the right to purchase. (iii) Radio Frequency The radio frequency licence used by Te Reo Irirangi o Te Mānuka Tūtahi is issued to the Rūnanga. This asset has nil value.

Independent Auditor’s Report To the Members of Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa Report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Opinion In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa (the ’Rūranga’) and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') on pages 59 to 85:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements which comprise:

—

The consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021;

i. Present fairly in all material respects the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year ended on that date; and

—

The consolidated statements of comprehensive revenue and expense, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended; and

—

Notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

ii. Comply with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards.

Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (‘ISAs (NZ)’). We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (Including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (‘IESBA Code’), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. Our responsibilities under ISAs (NZ) are further described in the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. Our firm has also provided other services to the Rūranga and Group in relation to cyber security services. Subject to certain restrictions, partners and employees of our firm may also deal with the Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the Group. These matters have not impaired our independence as auditor of the Group. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, the Group.

Other information The Representatives, on behalf of the Group, are responsible for the other information included in the entity’s Annual Report. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover any other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | 2021 Annual Report

Use of this independent auditor’s report This independent auditor’s report is made solely to the Members as a body. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Members those matters we are required to state to them in the independent auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Members as a body for our audit work, this independent auditor’s report, or any of the opinions we have formed.

Responsibilities of the Representatives for the consolidated financial statements The Representatives, on behalf of the Rūnanga, are responsible for:

—

The preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand (being New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards);

—

Implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a consolidated set of financial statements that is fairly presented and free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

—

Assessing the ability to continue as a going concern. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements Our objective is:

—

To obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

—

To issue an independent auditor’s report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs NZ will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of these consolidated financial statements is located at the External Reporting Board (XRB) website at: http://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-practitioners/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-7/ This description forms part of our independent auditor’s report.
