Priorities

Our world is rapidly changing - climate change, COVID-19, changes in technology and innovation, environmental degradation, employment opportunities, to name a few.

Our priority is for whānau to not just to be ready for change, but to thrive in a changing world for generations to come. To do this we must prioritise working at a mana to mana level with the crown as our partner, and strengthen the partnership with all levels of leadership within Murihiku - as part of the Murihiku Regeneration collective.

We need to honour the rights and interests of Iwi and our community - for our people and our environment.

The work we do now will ensure a positive future for many generations.

Aspirations

  • Whānau are healthy (mentally and physically), safe and culturally connected.
  • We have a local economy that is adapatable, resilient and provides secure meaningful employment for whānau.
  • Our rangatahi have access to education and skills training that sets them up to be resilient and adaptable in a changing world.
  • Workforce capability development is aligned to industry development.
  • We can sustain our lifestyles in a healthy environment - including clean air, and productive healthy freshwater, estuaries, sea, and land.
  • Native biodiversity is enhanced and restored across all habitats.

Kia whakatōmuri te haere whakamua

I walk backwards into the future with my eyes fixed on my past

He Waka Eke Noa

We are all in this together
