Wairarapa has lost 95 percent of its wetlands and development threatens many of the remaining wetlands.

The Lower Valley Development Scheme in the 1960s drained much of Wairarapa Moana’s wetlands so the region’s commercially productive lands could be protected from flooding.

So, is the announcement of our moana becoming internationally important a turning point? (https://www.stuff.co.nz/environment/ 122519868/a-lake-worth-saving-wairarapamoana-named-a-wetland-of-internationalsignificance)

The Wairarapa Moana community can celebrate Wairarapa Moana becoming Aotearoa New Zealand’s seventh wetland to receive this international recognition.

Its importance to migratory birds is as a habitat and it has been granted this status by the Ramsar Wetland Convention.

The announcement of the international status for Wairarapa Moana came from the Minister of Conservation, Eugenie Sage recognised the Government’s international commitments.

endangered Australasian bitterns, Matuku; and black-fronted terns, Tara; a good flock of the world’s most endangered gull species, black-billed gulls; the majestic spoonbills, Kotuku Rere and even a migrant kotuku, White Heron.

While these are the rare birds of Wairarapa Moana, there are the endemic birds found in our freshwater lakes and our estuary.

Wetlands are integral to the health of the land, waterways, plants and wildlife because of the crucial ecosystem services they provide.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 ...

The Convention is an intergovernmental environmental treaty established in 1971 by UNESCO, which came into force in 1975. It aims to raise the profile of wetlands in response to the continuing loss of these important habitats across the globe.

Ramsar identifies wetlands of international importance, especially those providing waterfowl habitat.

Some of the treasures amongst the birds include: one of the largest populations of Dabchicks, Weweia; nationally

The 100 square kilometers of wetland and open water that is Wairarapa Moana is home to about 100 bird species, 25 native fish species, and countless plant species.

Eugenie Sage said: “I warmly congratulate the Wairarapa iwi, community groups and organisations that have championed this kaupapa. Ramsar status not only recognises the value of the wetland but also the community efforts to restore and protect the site.”

What does Ramsar status mean?

• The Ramsar Convention on wetlands identifies significant wetlands across the world that need to be protected.

Wairarapa Moana wishes to thank all media agencies and individuals for providing photographs and news items for the Wairarapa Moana Mailer during 2020.

Special thanks to our Wairarapa Moana shareholders, whānau, marae and everyone who has shared their stories and photographs. Without your support and willingness, the Mailer could not provide the exciting and informative messages it does.

‘He rau ringa e oti ai’ Many hands make light work

• It was signed in the Iranian city of Ramsar in 1971, and now protects almost 2500 wetlands, covering more than 250 million hectares.

• Almost 90 per cent of UN member states have become party to the convention.

International recognition comes at a perfect time, with the Wairarapa Moana Wetlands project and wider Ruamàhanga Catchment recently receiving a $6 million investment from central government’s Jobs for Nature programme and $4 million investment from Greater Wellington Regional Council.

There is more to do, but we are at a turning point in Wairarapa Moana realising its potential.

THE TRUSTS ACT 2019 – What Trustees Should Know The Trusts Act 2019 comes into effect on 30 January 2021. The new Act will have a significant impact on the governance and administration of family trusts, charitable trusts and trusts for the benefit of iwi, hapū and whānau, including those already in existence. It is important that all those involved in trusts, including Māori land trusts (i.e. ahu whenua trusts and whānau trusts) are aware of the upcoming changes.

The main changes this new Act brings are: • Clarification of the role and duties of trustees • Clear requirements about providing information to beneficiaries about the trust • Practical and flexible trustee powers that allow trustees to manage and invest trust property • More streamlined and cost-effective mechanisms for removing and appointing trustees; and • Updated dispute resolution procedures.

The Government has provided a transition period to 30 January 2021 to ensure trustees are familiar with the new legislation and can make changes where necessary.

The most significant changes to the Act are: 1. Disclosure Obligations Basic trust information will need to be provided to each beneficiary and additional trust information if requested.

Basic trust information is: • That the beneficiary is a beneficiary of the trust.

• Details of each trustee.

• The beneficiary’s right to request additional trust information.

Additional trust information is: • The Trust Deed.

• Any variations to the Trust Deed.

• Records of Trust property (identifying the assets, liabilities, income and expenditure).

• Records of trustee decisions.

• Written contracts entered into.

• Accounting records and financial statements.

• Change of trustee documents.

• Any other relevant trust documents.

2. Mandatory Duties There are five mandatory duties the trustees must follow: • To know the terms of trust.

• To act in accordance with terms of trust.

• To act honestly and in good faith.

• To act for the benefit of beneficiaries.

• To exercise powers for proper purposes.

The mandatory duties should be nothing new to the majority of trustees and are already present in current law.

3. Default Duties There are ten default duties the trustees must follow unless the Trust Deed provides otherwise: • • • • • • • • • •

To exercise reasonable skill and care.

To invest prudently.

Not to exercise any power for a trustee’s own benefit.

To regularly consider the trustees powers.

Not to bind trustees in the future.

To avoid conflicts of interest.

To act impartially.

Not to profit from the trusteeship.

To act for no reward.

To act unanimously.

If there is a need to depart from the default duties then it may be appropriate to vary the Trust Deed to allow this. It is expected that all Trust Deeds should be reviewed to ensure compliance with the Act’s requirements.

4. Record Keeping The following documents must be held by trustees: • The Trust Deed.

• Any variations to the Trust Deed.

• Records of Trust property (identifying the assets, liabilities, income and expenditure).

• Records of trustee decisions.

• Written contracts entered into.

• Accounting records and financial statements.

• Change of trustee documents.

• Any other relevant trust documents.

It is permissible for one trustee to hold most documents, but each trustee must hold at least a copy of the Terms of Trust and any variations to the Terms of Trust.

There will be an increased focus on the responsibilities of trustees under the Act. Trustees and their advisers, in particular, need to ensure they understand the key features of the Act and consider what they need to do to prepare for the changes that will come into force on 30 January 2021.

Marae Update Hurunui-o-Rangi Titiro whakamuri, kòkiri whakamua – Look back and reflect so you can move forward

Hurunui-o-Rangi Marae whānau and Carterton District Council staff and elected members celebrate the renaming of Wairākau Road.

Photo: We acknowledge Marcus Anselm for his contribution.

The renaming of the ‘old Gladstone Road’ to Wairākau Road was made official at the Carterton District Council’s Ordinary Council Meeting held at Hurunui-o-Rangi Marae on Wednesday October 28, 2020 further strengthening the relationship between Carterton District Council and Hurunui-o-Rangi Marae.

Councillors approved the name change after receiving a report outlining the history of the road. It is well documented that in the mid-1950s, the road deviation through the middle of Hurunui-o-Rangi Pà was possibly the most blatant assault on Màori cultural values. The stretch of road that separated the marae from the urupà was justified, by the council at the time, as it provided a straighter approach to the bridge across the Ruamàhanga River.

Mayor Greg Lang said renaming the road was all about acknowledging the hurt that past decisions had caused and finding a way to move forward. “We have been working hard to continue building a genuine and meaningful working relationship with Hurunui-o-Rangi Marae and today’s decision is another positive step forward for us all,” Mayor Lang said.

Two years ago the council and the marae signed a Memorandum of Understanding to strengthen the relationship. This year the council has learnt more about the district’s Màori history which has been a crucial step in the relationship.

“We cannot move forward together until we understand where each other has come from,” Mayor Lang said.

Hurunui-o-Rangi Marae representative, Ra Smith, was pleased with the decision.

“In a time of empathetic leadership, Hurunui-o-Rangi Marae community is grateful to Carterton District Council for its empathy,” Smith said. “It’s recognition of an ancient name, Wairàkau, is a sign-post to a future that includes Màori history as a part of Carterton’s identity.”

As well as formally renaming the road, the council has committed to regularly maintaining it, so it is fit for use.

Just recently the council has carried out planting along Wairàkau Road at the request of Hurunui-o-Rangi kuia, Mihi Namana.

“The work we have been doing together with the council is really important to our marae,” Smith said.

Highlights from AGMs

Shareholders and whā nau attending the AGM in Greytown.

2020

In the lead-up to the Wairarapa Moana AGMs this year we, like many other organisations, experienced significant challenges in determining how our meetings would be delivered to our shareholders and whānau in a Covid-19 environment.

Although the country was at Level 1 there continued to be extensive reasons to remain vigilant against community outbreaks and to continue to care for our most vulnerable whànau. In response to the issues raised, it was agreed to provide a physical meeting with limited numbers in attendance and to offer an opportunity to view both the Trust and Incorporation AGMs via livestreaming.

To manage the process, we asked that the Expression of Interests form be completed and returned so staff could gauge attendance and contact all those wishing to attend to provide additional details on the final arrangements for the AGMs. Due to a lack of whànau registered to stay on the Friday evening, the marae was cancelled. Overall, communications between staff and whànau worked well in the lead-up to the AGMs.

The Wairarapa Moana Trust meeting commenced

General Business: On behalf of the trustees and whànau of Wairarapa Moana, Anaru Smiler thanked everyone for their attendance and participation and acknowledged the support from the office staff and fellow trustees during the past year.

The Trust meeting concluded at 10.05am followed by a short break for morning tea.

The Wairarapa Moana Incorporation meeting commenced at 10.18am. The Chairman welcomed everyone and acknowledged the presence of Tà Kim Workman and his achievements, contribution, and support, both to Wairarapa Moana and New Zealand, over many years.

at 9.00am with karakia, mihi and waiata led by Tà Kim Workman; followed by Chairperson, Anaru Smiler, who welcomed everyone to the meeting.

As there were no additional nominations for election to the Committee of Management Anne Carter and TeHoripo Karaitiana were re-elected unopposed.

Tiraumaera Te Tau presented the Trust’s three portfolios, providing a recap on the number of successful applicants this year for the Future Leaders, Tertiary and Trades scholarships and Poutama Grants. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19, the Future Leaders’ wànanga had to be cancelled for this year.

Sonya Rimene and Murray Hemi provided a comprehensive review of the year’s business activities including the strategic plan; farm production and farm community; environment; infrastructure; Miraka growth and systems; and Mangakino township.

The funding from the Marae Development portfolio was an equal split provided to each of the six tìpuna marae to aid in the Covid-19 recovery phase.

Exciting news that the Nau Mai Taku Kura Mokopuna CD is now available for listening on the Wairarapa Moana website and also available on our YouTube channel. Hard copies have been unavailable for some time now and this development is a positive step forward in the digital era.

The Performance Report for the year ended 31 May 2020 was presented by Anaru Smiler. Amy Kerr and Associates was approved to be the appointed Reviewer of the Financials for 2020/2021; and the 2019 Minutes were passed with no amendments or matters arising.

There was one vacancy to the Board of Trustees due to the rotation of Rutu Namana. One nomination was received from Jonathan Warwick who was welcomed to the Trust.

General Manager, Michael Allan, presented the Incorporation accounts for the year ended May 31, 2020; and the meeting was informed that the Committee of Management is currently seeking tenders for the provision of auditing services. Shareholders will be advised when the process has been completed.

The annual dividend was approved and will be paid to shareholders in the first week of December.

An update on the Wai 85 was provided that confirmed the Judicial Review later in October; and that WMI is seeking an agreement with the Settlement Trust for Wairarapa Moana owners and all of Ngàti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa.

An update was also provided on the Wairarapa Moana Trust Review that focused on two areas – How can we

better support our shareholders and whànau in the future; and Is the current model still effective? In the meantime, it’s business as usual.

The Chairman acknowledged the quality of the presentations; and the range of questions received, which all contributed to the successful running of the AGM.

The Minutes of the Annual General Meeting 2019 were approved; and the next AGM was confirmed for Saturday October 16, 2021 at Masterton.

The meeting format for the day allowed the AGMs to be completed by mid-day, followed by lunch and an early return home.

PRE-AGM ROADSHOWS 2020

Christchurch whā nau.

Wellington whā nau.

It is fair to say that 2020 has been a year like no other as Covid-19 impacted on our arrangements for our Pre AGM meetings.

Four of our six regular venues had become Covid-19 quarantine facilities, but this did not deter our directors and trustees visiting whànau in Auckland, Hastings, Wellington, Rotorua and Christchurch. Attendance at all venues was down from numbers registered but that was to be expected as our most vulnerable whànau kept themselves safe during these changing times.

The following graph provides the comparison attendance for 2019 and 2020.

WAIRARAPA MOANA

Harriet Gibson Wairarapa Moana Trust Future Leaders Recipient 2016-2018

Study/where/length?

I studied a Bachelor of Environmental Management at Lincoln University. This degree took me three years to complete at the end of 2018.

Aspirations from beginning to end of study? Did they change, why/how?

My career aspirations are always slightly changing due to the diverse work and life experiences I have had so far. Although they have changed slightly since the start of my studies, I still want to help the agriculture industry improve and develop its environmental standards. As I am passionate about making these challenges into opportunities for the agriculture industry to become even more advanced.

What benefits did the Wairarapa Moana grant provide to help you?

Financial support with buying textbooks and funds for fieldtrips. Also, from being a part of the Wairarapa Moana grant, I gained more understanding around my whakapapa.

What are your future plans?

Are you in employment, where?

My future goals are to be a well-respected rural professional in the agriculture industry. I would like to be running my own business that helps to give realistic and sustainable advice helping farmers to make good environmental decisions.

Currently I am working at Farmlands in Masterton but heading to the Manawatu seeking new employment.

Is there any advice you would give to other Wairarapa Moana recipients?

I find life is all about balance. Throughout my studies and early employment, this was the advice I was given.

Work hard for what you want and reflect on what you have achieved. You are the master of your life, find the right balance that works for you.

Bringing you short snippets from the book to encourage you to read and increase your knowledge of this taonga. Enjoy!

“…there were Polynesians living in Aotearoa prior to the arrival of the so-called fleet.”

Chapter 4: The Early Māori History of Wairarapa Moana. Written by Haami Te Whaiti.

Ranginui Walker states that the first canoe migration was between AD800 and AD900. Janet Davidson, while acknowledging there is considerable doubt, believes the sequence of eastern Polynesian settlement suggests a date earlier than AD800 but probably no earlier than AD600.

Notification of a Deceased Shareholder Death is never easy to announce; and we will all find ourselves in this situation at some time in our lives.

Now and then the office is unaware that a shareholder has passed away and correspondence and the Wairarapa Moana Mailer will continue to be sent to the deceased shareholder’s address.

It would be greatly appreciated if whànau could let the office know of shareholders who have passed on.

Give us a call so we can update the share register and support the whànau to succeed.

He kokonga whare e kitea, he kokonga ngākau e kore e kitea.

You can now listen to the Nau Mai Taku Kura Mokopuna collection on the Wairarapa Moana website and on our YouTube channel.

Nau Mai Taku Kura Mokopuna originated from a desire to revive Wairarapa mòteatea; and the collection includes karakia, tauparapara, waiata, mòteatea and haka.

This collection was originally produced as a CD and booklet; the CD is no longer available.

Wairarapa Moana is proud to provide this collection electronically to help preserve these taonga.

The corners of a house may be seen and examined, not so the corners of the heart.

This whakataukì indicates that where we can visibly see the corners of a house, we do not have the ability to see the inner thoughts or feelings of a person. This reminds us to take care when engaging with others, as we are not aware of what may be happening for them or in their lives.

Contact Ngaere on 0800 662 624 or ngaere@wairarapamoana.org.nz

Items were performed by Paora Ammunson and Mikaera Kawana and the project was managed by Henare Manaena. The collection was recorded in 2007 by Paddi Addison in his Carterton studio; and the project was supported by Wairarapa Moana, Whaiora Whànui Trust, Trust House Charitable Trust, Kahungunu ki Wairarapa and Rangitàne o Wairarapa.

A Marvellous Spring for our Farms

Tēnā koutou The grass is growing in a crazy fashion on the WMI farms and we are happy about it.

Spring 2020 has been marvellous. We are in the last month of spring and the rain keeps coming and with the sunny breaks and humid temperatures our pastures are on rocket fuel.

Nature has looked after us and the irrigation pivots have remained parked up to date.

The formula for good pasture management is to grow the grass to a cover of about 2,500 kilograms dry matter a hectare and then to graze it down to 1,500. Moana Puha, Trevor Hamilton and Nick Rowe, the WMI operations team, recently ran a working lunch discussion group with the WMI farm teams (some are in the photograph) coaching them on good pasture management during plentiful growth periods. The surplus grass is being harvested into silage and will end up being fed as a feed supplement in times the grass plentiful is not so plentiful.

The 12-5-Optimise strategy for the season is working well and to the end of October 2020 the WMI farms group milk production is running at 3% ahead of budget.

Other things are happening on farm. Spring mating is ongoing and will continue through to Christmas time. The August and September born calves are being weaned. We

will soon be selling the dairy beef cross calves and the dairy calves which are the herd replacements will move on to the dairy support blocks.

The rain has caused some washout on the tracks and the entrances to the milking sheds gets muddy. The WMI digger is busy with track work and pumice delivery to repair the wet and weak spots in the farm tracks and races.

The farm teams and their whànau, like all of us, are looking forward to Christmas. On a dairy farm the demands reduce after Christmas and this allows a system to be implemented where staff and their families get to have some leave and enjoy some summer activities.

Our Taupo office staff are also looking forward to their Christmas break.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas for 2020 and hope you get some time together with your whànau.

The new year 2021 is just around the corner. Like all farmers we want the summer sun and to have some periods of rain.
