Taonga tuku iho
The Trust's role is as a caretaker; to look after the whenua handed down to us by our tipuna for the benefit of our landowners and all future generations.
Our whenua is a taonga, with much potential. As a Trust, we wish to explore options that will help us achieve our aspirations, while being sustainable and respectful of the land. Pūngao Ngāwhā (Geothermal Energy) is one of the business ventures on our whenua that generates income and we'll be exploring new avenues to grow and develop the whenua.
