Our Partnership Projects and Representation

Through our Appointments Policy, we have mandated uri on a number of Council, public and private boards and committees. We also have a number of projects - all of which you can read more on here:

KiwiRail iReX Project

Taranaki Whānui partnered with KiwiRail, Ngāti Toa Rangatira and Te Ātiawa o Te Waka-a-Māui on a project that would have seen two new ferries connecting Te Upoko o te Ika and Te Tauihu, along with two new ferry terminal spaces showcasing our history, culutre and art.

We still have uri championing the protection and preservation of Kaiwharawhara Stream, which is an important and significant area as it was once a kainga. They are undertaking this mahi through other opportunities and partnerships.

Unfortunately, this project has been closed down by the Government and KiwiRail. In the event new direction is agreed by KiwiRail, Interislander Line and the Governement, we will as Mana Whenua, look to re-engage and partner and ensure opportunities for our whānau are created.

Lets Get Wellington Moving

As with iReX, this programme of work, which was to help shape the future of Wellington and how it moved, has also been closed down by the current Government.  Central and Local Government are taking on part of the intended programme and we are partnering with Wellington City Council and Waka Kōtahi around these.
