iReX

October 2023

Te Moana o Raukawakawa (Cook Straight) is a vital part of New Zealand's transport and tourism infrastructure, so it makes sense that the service matches its significance. The Interislander is transforming, upgrading its existing service, delivery of two new custom-designed ferries and terminals at Kaiwharawhara Wellington and Waitohi Picton.

Taranaki Whānui, Ngāti Toa Rangatira (Te Whanganui a Tara) and Te Ātiawa o Te Waka-a-Māui (Waitohi Picton) have partnered with KiwiRail and established a unified mana whenua governance and advisory group - Te Au o Rehutai.

Through Te Au o Rehutai, we will be providing a number of opportunties for our whānau so make sure you pop back regularly to check out what these may look like.
