Education leads our social
development portfolio and
during the year we advanced
development of our Education
Plan, Ko Te Mana Maatauranga,
which articulates the aspirations
our people hold for whaanau,
hapuu and iwi as lifelong
learners. Mai i te koopuu o te
whaea ki te koopuu o te whenua.
Emerging areas requiring more
support lead directly to raising
living standards and enabling
prosperity. Supporting our
people to be job ready, creating
pathways into employment, and
assisting members to become
home owners are the priorities.
Home ownership is a goal held
by many of our members and
the challenges they face are
acknowledged in our newly-
developed Housing Strategy.
The strategy calls for significantly
increased activity and we will be
expanding our resource capacity
as a result.
Implementation of our
environmental plan – Tai Tumu,
Tai Pari, Tai Ao – continues and
this year we were honoured
to receive the New Zealand
Planning Institute Best Practice
Award for Strategic Planning and
Guidance. Our plan is hailed as
inclusive, innovative and creating
transformational change for
the environment.
Waikato-Tainui is a successful
tribal organisation with a
commitment to achieving
prosperity for its people, an
impressive asset base, and a
future that is bright. This year,
the 20th anniversary of our
Raupatu settlement, has been
an occasion to reflect on the
determination and hard work
of our tuupuna to achieve
settlement and to always
remember that their efforts see
us in the fortunate position we
are all in today.
As your tribal organisation we
are committed to honouring
the memory of our tuupuna
by working for the benefit of
members to effect positive
change. On behalf of Te
Arataura, management and staff,
we are pleased to present this
overview of the activities of the
Waikato Raupatu Lands Trust and
the Waikato Raupatu River Trust
for 2015.
