WHĀNAU, Get Involved
Be a Part of Your Community
OUR PEOPLE
Tamaūpoko is made up of strong-willed people who have a drive to get involved for the greater benefit of the collective. It is this sense of community spirit and passion, which will enable the people living at-home to actualise their dreams and aspirations by working together for community wellbeing.
OUR SETTLEMENTS
A drive along the river road is a step back in time revealing the heritage of local iwi, remnants of early European settlement and many historical landmarks and features. The rural settlements within the Tamaūpoko Tupuna Rohe cover approximately 24km. They are Matahiwi, Rānana, Jerusalem-Hiruhārama and Pipiriki.
OUR JOURNEY
Our journey has had its ups and downs, sometimes taking one step forward and landing two back – change was never going to be easy. There were many interesting moments from the outset and it has been a steep learning curve for all involved and the lessons learnt have set a stronger foundation and launching platform for the coming years.
