TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA

Nau mai haere mai ki te rīpoata ā tau o Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa. WELCOME TO THE 1 JULY 2018 - 30 JUNE 2019 ANNUAL REPORT Te Rauotehuia Chapman – de Vos, Representative Te Warahoe sadly passed away in May 2019. Te Rau was a long serving Representative of Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa, Trustee and Chair of Ngāti Awa Research and Archives Trust, and a member of the Audit, Finance and Risk Committee. Te Rau was a dedicated Representative who spoke her mind, and consistently focussed on achieving the best outcomes for Ngāti Awa. Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa mourn Te Rau’s passing with her family and friends.

Over the past year, the Rūnanga Board has faced some significant external issues: an Environment Court Appeal, cross Tiriti o Waitangi claims, and caring for the taiao. The Board has met these challenging issues head on and with resolution. These issues will have long reaching impacts on us as tangata whenua, as Ngāti Awa, and on our taiao. It is with these impacts in mind that the Board has acted to protect our identity, language and culture and status as kaitiaki and tangata whenua.

Reflecting on the dedication of the Representatives over the past year, I can report that the Board met five times as a Board in the last financial year. In addition, Rūnanga Representatives have served on various Committees including Audit Finance and Risk, and Appointments and Remuneration and Ngāti Awa Community Development and Ngāti Awa Research and Archives Trusts.

Some Representatives will be leaving the Rūnanga in 2020, and new Representatives will be joining us after the 2019 Annual General Meeting. I welcome the new Representatives, and farewell the outgoing Representatives who have carried out their duties with dedication and care.

Collectively these Committees and Trusts have met 18 times, and 10 Representatives have served on these Committees.

The Board unanimously supported the Environment Court appeal opposing Creswell N.Z. Limited’s application to take and bottle water, and in doing so confirmed our ongoing responsibility as a post settlement entity representing the rights and interests of Ngāti Awa whānau and hapū. My thanks to the Deputy Chair, Tuwhakairiora O’Brien for his leadership and commitment to the Rūnanga, and the Representatives who have attended iwi events, and meetings to represent our collective interests.

In closing I want to thank the Ngāti Awa Group Holdings Ltd Directors, Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa, Trustees and Committee members for your ongoing commitment and dedication.

Mā te Atua tātau e manaaki e tiaki i ngā wā katoa. Naaku noa,

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA

Chief Executive’s Report

A key focus for the operations of Te

Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa this past year was our Environment Court appeal

opposing the consent granted to

Creswell N.Z Limited by the Bay of Plenty Regional Council (BOPRC)

for the purpose of bottling water to

In support of our appeal the following parties joined us as section 274 parties: Te Rūnanga o Ngai Te Rangi Iwi Trust, Ngāti Tūwharetoa (BOP) Settlement Trust, Ngāti Pikiao Environmental Society, Tuwhakairiora O’Brien and Ngāi Tamawera Hapū.

Earlier in 2018, Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa and other parties made submissions in opposition to Creswell’s resource consent application and submitted our Cultural Impact Assessment to support our opposition. Following a Council level hearing later in 2018,

A mediation was held following the filing of appeals which assisted to narrow the issues but did not resolve the matter. Our appeal ultimately focused on the tikanga effects of taking ground water. Following mediation, but before evidence was due to be filed, the Ngāti Tūwharetoa (BOP) Settlement Trust withdrew its appeal. Sustainable Otākiri also withdrew its appeal of the regional consents (granted by BOPRC) and confirmed it was only appealing the district consents (granted by Whakatāne District Council) alongside a jurisdictional challenge. Ultimately, Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa was the sole appellant of the regional consents.

Commissioners appointed by the BOPRC determined to grant Creswell consent to, among other things, take and bottle 1.1 million cubic metres per year from the Awaiti Canal Aquifer. Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa along with Ngāti Tūwharetoa (BOP) Settlement Trust and Sustainable Otākiri appealed the BOPRC decision to grant the consents.

year from the Awaiti Canal Aquifer sell in Aotearoa and overseas.


TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA

The Environment Court Appeal hearing was held in Whakatāne over 20-24 May 2019. Our evidence was heard at Te Manuka Tūtahi Marae, where we hosted the Environment Court over two days. There was a big turnout of support for our appeal. In summary, our case, supported by our evidence, was that the ground water take consent sought by Creswell was for too much water, to be sold, too far away. This has both a negative effect on te mauri o te wai and the ability of Ngāti Awa to be kaitiaki. On that basis, we maintained the consent should be declined and Creswell should not be allowed to take the water it seeks to be bottled and sold in Aotearoa and overseas. Due to the limited jurisdiction of the Environment Court, our appeal was not about “ownership” of water, broader constitutional issues, or seeking to veto particular types of applications. We are however entitled to take a position on these matters generally and take part in broader constitutional kōrero about water quality, water allocation and a number of other environmental matters. And we do. This is part of our responsibility to Ngāti Awa whānau and hapū, and forms part of our ongoing work.

Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa remain concerned about the continued erosion of Ngāti Awa rights and interests as tangata whenua and kaitiaki within our rohe, and our exclusion from decision making. We intend to continue to be vigilant about this particularly given the up-coming environmental reform proposed by central government. The Rūnanga approved Ngāti Awa Pōhiri Rau (Ngāti Awa Tourism Strategy) in June 2019 which focusses on caring for and growing our tourism operations with training, employment and business opportunities for Ngāti Awa people. Ngāti Awa Pōhiri Rau has been worked on for some time, and now that it is approved will form a large part of our operational focus in the new year. To that end, Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa is seeking support from the Provincial Growth Fund to realise the redevelopment of the Whakatāne Tourism Hub (our Army Hall), create a tourism training and employment pipeline, and develop a night-time tourism experience utilising our historical and cultural heritage sites within the Whakatāne township. We have also partnered with Whakatāne District Council on a Provincial Growth Fund application seeking financial support for the regeneration of the Whakatāne township, and the building of a boat harbour for commercial boats, including our White Island Tours vessels. The proposed boat harbour development includes a Ngāti Awa lands trust. We expect a response to these funding applications in early December 2019. The financial performance of the Rūnanga Group for the year was a surplus of $0.05m. The Commercial Group results are discussed further on page 40 in the Ngāti Awa Group Holdings Chairman’s report. The Rūnanga itself incurred a loss of $0.6m compared to a loss of $0.3m in 2018. The main contributor to the movement in the result was the investment required to fund our Environment Court appeal. I extend my thanks to the governors and staff for their continued support and hard work over the past financial year and acknowledge the many Ngāti Awa people who have volunteered and given their time and energy to the iwi. We have a busy year ahead, and together we can meet any challenges we may face.

Naaku noa,

Leonie Simpson MANAHAUTŪ, TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | ANNUAL REPORT 2019

We have been consistent about our views on Creswell’s application - our Cultural Impact Assessment, submissions to the Bay of Plenty Regional Council and our appeal. We continue to rely on advice of our pukenga and the Mataatua Declaration on Water in this context (noting that the Declaration has been approved by the Rūnanga as a relevant Ngāti Awa planning document).

We invested significant amounts of time, effort and funding into ensuring that our appeal was robust and relevant. The appeal is still being considered by the Environment Court. We are expecting the decision of the Environment Court this year.

I was a recipient of the Te Puawaitanga Scholarship which is awarded to students with high leadership potential to attend one of six (at the time) Maori boarding schools to realise their academic, sporting and cultural aspirations as future leaders and learners. I started my journey at the University of Otago on the Tū Kahika Health Sciences scholarship programme which is a pathway designed for young Māori tauira who aspire to study towards a career in health. On reflection this experience helped to provide me with the tools and collegial support to successfully pursue undergraduate study and upon completing my Health Sciences First Year (BSc) papers I was accepted for admission onto the second year Medicine MB ChB programme at the University of Otago this year.

My whānau has dedicated much of their lives in service to our many marae, land trusts and the Te Teko Rugby Club for the welfare and care of our whānau, hapū and iwi. As mokopuna it is second nature for us to be helping by doing the shopping for tangihanga, hui or other marae functions and voluntary work for the various fundraising activities in Te Teko as this is our everyday life and to give freely without expecting anything in return. I will always consider myself very fortunate to have strong whānau/hapū support that enables me to continue to strive towards my educational aspirations and academic success. I have chosen to study medicine and to become a doctor because for me “to provide care for others” is the most challenging and rewarding job in the world. Ehara taku toa, he takitahi, he toa takitini

“My life goal is to become a doctor to provide healthcare for the wellbeing of our people in our communities.”

Manaakitanga

Ngāti Awa Education Scholarship Recipient pursuing studies towards a Bachelor of Science at the University of Auckland in statistics and computer science (graduated in 2018) and Master of Applied Data Science at the University of Canterbury (2019). Being the first Maori data science post-graduate, I am considering a doctorate to research kaupapa Maori data analysis to establish a framework as this does not exist for Maori organisation reference.

My name is Meremaihi Sharleen Mahutoto. I was raised in Whakatāne amongst my Ngāti Awa Whānau having affiliations to all marae of Whakatāne and Motiti but predominantly with my Te Pahipoto, Te Patuwai, Ngāti Maumoana and Ngāti Pukeko whānau. My waka are Mataatua, Tainui and Te Arawa and I have whakapapa to all tribes of the Mataatua confederation. I attended Te Timatanga Hou Kohanga Reo, Te Kura o te Pāroa and Trident High School; then

Whilst studying towards my degrees I undertook three internships (two iwi research projects and one CoRE project). At the Centre of Research Excellence, Te Punaha Matatini, I conducted network analysis to identify potential innovation groups. During my time at Waikato-Tainui College for Research and Development I was involved with designing and archiving their online information. In 2018 -19, I spent the summer in the Bay of Plenty with Te Arawa Lakes Trust. Here, I undertook social network analysis using automated web page extraction. While initially studying towards an engineering degree, I undertook my studies in data science, statistics and computer science because of my interest in critical thinking and developing a set of skills to provide for human endeavour. Currently I am employed in Auckland, working in a Te Puni Kokiri commissioned agency for their Whānau Ora initiative, to automate their data outputs and update their data warehousing. An outcome is that communication and accountability processes are improving within the organization. My aspiration for my iwi is to realize the potential of 21st century data science. Data driven decision-making prioritizes creativity, scientific thinking, business acumen and lived experiences. There is huge potential in the study of data science as there is data in every aspect of life. Data has the ability to reveal in-depth details of human interaction and these learnings can be transformed into meaningful commercial, social and cultural outcomes.

Rātau i hinga, rātau i taka ki te ringa kaha ā te Karauna i ngā tau i murua raupatuhia ngā whenua o Ngāti Awa mai i 1865. Tahuri ana ki a tātau te hunga kiko, tātau i mahue iho nei hai whakapakari anō i ō tātau whānau, hapū me te iwi whānui hoki, tēnā tātou katoa. E ngā kaipupuri hoe whakamua ō Ngāti Awa, e ngā mema o te Rūnanga me ngā māngai hapū, tēnei te mihi. Ko Hēpeta tōku tipuna, ko Ngāi Te Rangihouhiri II te hapū, Ko Jasmyn Pearson tōku ingoa. I was 15 when I first witnessed my grandfather, Whainoa Te Aurere Simpson speaking on the pae. I was watching the television programme ‘Te Waka Huia’ with my mother from the lounge of our whare in Rangiora, North Canterbury where I grew up. Koro ‘Bubbles’ as most knew him, was one of 11 witnesses that gave evidence before the Waitangi Tribunal at Wairaka, Whakatāne in support of the Ngāti Awa claim. That was July 1994. Years later I would learn of the horrific details of the ‘raupatu’, including that our tipuna Hēpeta Te Taiwhakaripi was among many who were wrongfully tried and convicted, sentenced to a life in Mt Eden prison ‘Mautini’, where he and others would finally pass. I learnt of the ongoing injustices and the devastating effects of the intergenerational legacy that raupatu wrought on my mother’s people as a student at Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi. I am grateful for that education.

The often cited whakatauki of our tipuna and founder of Te Hāhi Ringatū, Te Kooti - ‘mā te ture anō te ture e aki’ signals the possibility of being able to effect change. Successive government legislation and policy have done little to encourage the wellbeing and rebuilding of our people. Ēngari, ahakoa ko aua pēhitanga, me whawhai tonu mātou. I am very grateful to Ngāti Awa for supporting me in my endeavour to return to full-time tertiary study to gain a law degree, while raising my whānau here in Whakatāne. Nō reira, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātau katoa.

Customary Fisheries Report Mussel restoration in Ōhiwa Harbour In 2016 Dr Kura Paul-Burke surveyed the mussel beds in the harbour and found an alarming decline in mussel numbers and bed extents since previous surveys. The sudden decline was largely attributed to seastar predation. Kura then put together a plan to trial methods of re-establishing mussels in the harbour. The use of cages that this plan involved required a resource consent. This was granted in July last year and the implementation of the plan in October. The project is co-funded by BOP Regional Council and Taihoro Nukurangi (NIWA). The aims are to assess: • Whether mussel spat from Ohiwa can be collected on lines in the harbour. • Whether relocated mussels survive and recruit on the bottom. • Whether cages provide respite from seastar predation. • Options for assisting mussel restoration and replication on a large scale. Kura reported back to the Ohiwa Harbour Implementation Forum (OHIF) on the progress of the trial. At that time: • Mussels relocated from mooring chains to the cages did re-establish on the harbour bed. • Seastars did eventually find their way into the cages to predate the mussels.

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | ANNUAL REPORT 2019

• Wild mussel spat did establish on both artificial and natural fibre spat lines.

24

• A Master of Marine Science Student, Megan Ranapia, has been seconded to develop a Habitat Suitability Index for shellfish restoration. • A funding proposal, co-developed with Upokorehe and Ngāti Awa has been made to the Sustainable Seas National Science Challenge, Sustainable Seas, Awhi Mai-Awhi Atu. The application to Sustainable Seas has since been successful and a Putea of $1.2million has been allocated to this project to cover research into the cause of mussel decline in Ohiwa Harbour. Kura and her team are continuing to monitor the spat lines and cages and will update OHIF on progress from time to time.

Pipi and Cockle populations in the Ōhiwa Harbour The importance of addressing the seastar proliferation and its effect on the mussel population is that if allowed to run its course, the seastar will turn their attention to the pipi and cockles. As Kaitiaki, we keep a watchful eye on the pipi and cockle population in the harbour and have noticed the proliferation of small cockle. At the moment they are tiny in size. Hopefully they will grow to a harvestable size. Recently the shellfish survey was carried out by Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) on the health of shellfish population along the countries’ shoreline. Data was collected from 2012-2018. A large number of diebacks has been reported. A clear cause of this has not been identified however it is assumed warming waters, pollution and toxins, increased sediments etc impact on shellfish health. In our Rohe Moana we keep a watchful eye on harvest numbers that our fishers take when issued with customary permits. This information is fed to MPI who use it to contribute to the make-up of national fish plans.

Customary/Commercial Kina plans (SUR 1B) In the new sustainability rounds this year, commercial quota holders applied to the Minister for Primary Industries for a 50 tonne SUR 1B TACC increase. The Commercial fishers believe that kina stocks are such that they can sustain an increase in quota allocation. Iwi submitted an objection to any increase to the Minister as proper science methods haven’t been applied to reach a true informed decision. Iwi insisted that a full stock assessment should be carried out to give a reasoned picture of the kina stocks in our rohe. Iwi believed that any increase in TACC would detrimentally affect iwi’s ability to provide our taonga kaimoana to feed ourselves and our manuhiri. On the 1st October the Minister issued the following statement. • SUR 1B TAC = 324 tonnes (status quo) • SUR 1B TACC = 140 tonnes (status quo) • Customary allocation = 90 tonnes (status quo) • Recreational allocation = 90 tonnes (status quo)

The Dams remain a barrier to the migration of our taonga species. Trials to allow adult tuna to pass the Dam’s turbines continue with limited success. In the meantime trap and transfer continues to be the best method to get elvers up river and adults down river. Commercial LF tuna quota has been significantly reduced across the fishery. Commercial operators informed us that, as it is becoming unsustainable to fish LF tuna, they concentrate more on fishing SF tuna. However, customary fishers still target them, especially during Tuna Heke. Talks will begin shortly with Rangitaiki river iwi interests to discuss methods available to regulate fishing activity currently occurring, to better manage and maintain fish stocks going forward.

The old system of paper permits for Customary kaimoana harvest is being phased out and E permitting is being taken up by iwi throughout the country. The new system will take a bit of time to bed in but once up and running well, access to a Customary permit will just require a phone call to a central distribution centre to acquire.

Pātaka Kai We continue to provide pātaka kai to our marae for tangihanga. Fish fillets are accessed via the commercial fishing company Moana NZ. Meat is sourced from our dairy farms via cull stock. We have gazetted a rohe moana stretching from Wahieroa in the west to Maraetotara stream in the east and extending 24 nautical miles into the ocean. This is recognised by the Crown as an inshore rohe moana. Within this rohe moana Ngāti Awa can issue permits for customary purposes. TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | ANNUAL REPORT 2019

Bay of Plenty Regional Council – Plan Change 9 (Region-wide Water Quantity).

Kopeopeo Canal Remediation Project

This is a Regional Council led plan change to the Bay of Plenty Natural Resources Plan. The plan change seeks to introduce rules to improve water quality and quantity. We provided submissions to the Regional Council and have appealed the decisions made by the hearings panel. Environment Court assisted mediation will take place in November – December 2019.

The dredging of the Kopeopeo canal has concluded. This was a significant milestone for the project and Project Team. The project successfully completed the removal and storage of around 35,000 cubic metres of sediment. A special acknowledgement needs to be given to Joe Harawira who was instrumental in advocating for the remediation of this site.

Rangitāiki River Forum The purpose of the forum is the protection and enhancement of the environment, cultural, and spiritual health and wellbeing of the Rangitāiki River and its resources for the benefit of present and future generations. Thanks to Miro Araroa and Tuwhakairia O’Brien for their mahi representing Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa on this forum. Key Highlights from the Forum, • Recovery works on the river continued following the floods in 2017 • Te Hekenga nui o te Tuna – programme to re-establish fish passage where it is compromised

Ngāti Awa Research and Archives 2018 – 2019 was a busy time for Ngāti Awa Research and Archives, it was a time of renewal as well as a time to look back to its past and highlight our archival material. A key part of this work was digitising our achives into an online catalogue which went live in December 2018. The online catalogue has had over 220,000 hits and drawn in over 1000 page views per month since being available. Ngāti Awa Research and Archives engaged two tertiary student interns over the past year. One student was tasked with preparing content for the online catalogue, the other performed data cleansing activities. Both students are of Ngāti Awa decent and performed their duties to a high standard. The World War One exhibition was installed in the Ngāti Awa Research and Archives offices in March 2019 and has been the scene for much contemplation and discussion from visitors and staff alike. There has been a concerted effort to display all the exhibitions and other taonga we have in the archive. Our Research services were reopened in April 2019 enabling interested people the opportunity to come do small research projects in the Louvain Street office.

Adrian Jaram joined the staff as the Research Facilitator for Ngāti Awa Research and Archives and there is a constant demand for the knowledge and services he provides. In June the library shelving was extended and many of the items that have been stored in the back are now residing on these shelves. A digitisation suite has been built in part and tested this year with audio tapes being digitised first. The suite was used to support our opposition to WAI2521 Ngā hapū o te moutere o Motiti claim.

Information Technology for Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa, White Island Tours and Te Mānuka Tūtahi moved forward in giant leaps this year.

A refurbished and configured server was donated by Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiarangi as part of the shared services agreement. This agreement has supported the growth of our IT capabilities and capacity. With the implementation of the server Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa have been able to secure and control our data and Intellectual Property (IP) like never before, as well as starting recovery and rediscovery of data that was once considered lost or unusable.

The White Island Tours, Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa and Te Mānuka Tūtahi networks were upgraded to ensure network security is at optimum levels at all times. White Island Tours had their operational computing fleet renewed and this work was completed by Ngaire Rapana, one of our education grant applicants who is studying IT at Toi Ohomai. Ngaire was tasked with cleaning and disposal of the old machines, and then configuration and full rollout of new machines onsite to staff. Ngaire was so proficient with the tasks put to her that she was given an extension of her work to assist with recovery of data from a number of old storage systems that were onsite at Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa. Taiao Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) were improved this year with a complete upgrade of layers and a move to the cloud to ensure that we have connectivity for our mobile Taiao team. Video conferencing continued to gain momentum in the Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa offices with a number of different meetings running concurrently on different devices on any given day. This small change in the way meetings are run has had a transformational impact on Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa, allowing for easier communication that is not dependant on weather, flights or geographic location.

WAI2521 Ngā Hapū o te Moutere o Motiti (G Hoete and others) Claim The Wai 2521 claim is seeking findings from the Waitangi Tribunal that in respect of Motiti there is another hapū outside of Te Patuwai, Ngāti Maumoana and Te Whānau ā Tauwhao who are tangata whenua. Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa and Te Patuwai Tribal Committee jointly oppose this claim on the basis that the Ngāti Awa Settlement did include the tangata whenua of Motiti, namely Te Patuwai and Ngāti Maumoana who are of Ngāti Awa descent. While Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa and Te Patuwai Tribal Committee do agree that the Crown needs to do a much better job at resourcing activities on Motiti and providing a voice for the island in terms of resource management and other matters, who the tangata whenua are of Motiti is already confirmed. The Tribunal considered the claim over 18 months, culminating in the final hearing being held in Tauranga on 4 and 5 September. In the past year, the Te Patuwai Tribal Committee, members of Te Patuwai, Ngāti Maumoana, Ngāti Awa and Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa have attended 5 hearings, over 23 days. A considerable amount of effort, time and resources was required to represent our opposition to this claim. We are now awaiting the Tribunal findings which are expected in early 2020. Te Patuwai Tribal Committee and hapū members also spent numerous voluntary hours participating in this claim and preparing evidence. 29

The Rūrima Islands The Rūrima Māori Reservation includes the islands of Rūrima (Te-kauae-ōWaitaha), Moutoki, and the reef Tokatā, that has a total area of approximately 11.5313 ha. The islands are located 19 kilometres west of the Whakatane River and 6 kilometres north from the Rangitāiki River. The islands were “Set aside as a Māori Reservation for common use of Māoris of the Ngāti Awa of Bay of Plenty, as a fishing and flora and fauna reserve” by way of Gazette Notice on 23 July 1953 and is vested in Trustees. Rūrima Islands are also managed by DOC as a Wildlife Refuge. There is speculation as to the genesis of the name Te-kauae-o-Waitaha which was so given because that chiefly gentleman seeking to quench his thirst

whilst exploring the more prominent of the islands drove his taiaha into the ground at the base of a group of rocks and lo and behold water gushed forth, however in his haste to seek comfort from the spring he stumbled and is reputed to have broken his jaw against the rocks, hence the name Te-kauae-ō-Waitaha.

These islands are of unique cultural, historical significance to Ngāti Awa as they are recognised as important links to the spiritual homelands and the departing place of the spirits. Te Paepae ki Aotea Marine Reserve which encircles the island, was established in 2006. The area is popular with divers, due to good visibility (35-40m), spectacular scenery and colourful marine life.

TE PUIA Ō WHAKAARI Te Puia ō Whakaari has always been a well-known landmark in the Whakatāne area. Alongside Moutohorā the two islands form the northern end of a line of andesite volcanoes which continues in a south-westerly direction to Pūtauaki and Tarawera and the peaks of the central North Island. The island is almost continually active, it lies 51 kilometres north of Whakatāne and covers an area of 588 acres (238 hectares). White Island is the name that Captain Cook gave on his first visit to New Zealand. The island is privately owned; legally its status is that of a private reserve.

him. However, they did not dare to attack him, for it was forbidden to shed the blood of a tohunga. Because of this they thought of an alternative and they planned a mutton-birding expedition out to Te Puia ō Whakaari, and when all was ready, they asked Te Tahi O Te Rangi to accompany them. The tohunga agreed, they reached the island that afternoon and when evening came they lit their torches and went to work. Te Tahi O Te Rangi, struggling up the dark slopes with the others, did his share of work like the rest of them.

Waiho rātou mā tō rātou whakamā hei patu (Let their shame be their punishment)

But there was one thing these people didn’t know, one mistake they made. Hidden around his waist Te Tahi O Te Rangi wore a magic girdle, made of three tapu strands of flax. He took this off now, held it up in the air, and began to chant a prayer of help to Tangaroa. After a time Tangaroa heard the tohunga, and sent Tūtarakauika the demon whale. Te Tahi ō te Rangi climbed on to the whale’s huge back and sped away across the surface of the sea. Soon they came to the people in the canoe. When the people saw him coming, they nearly died of fright; they covered their faces with their hands and thought that their last hour had come.

Some generations ago there lived near Whakatāne, in a village a few miles from the mouth of the river, a notorious tohunga named Te Tahi ō te Rangi (‘The First of the Heavens’).

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | ANNUAL REPORT 2019

His magic was famous throughout the island; and though he often used his powers to do good, it was chiefly for his black magic that he was known. It was true that they needed the tohunga to perform ceremonies when there were fishing expeditions, when the kumaras were planted and when the tribe made war on its neighbours. But in spite of this, his presence filled them with such fear that they plotted to kill

34

After this they lay down to sleep. Since Te Tahi ō Te Rangi was a tohunga, his bed was some distance away from the others, and he slept particularly soundly. The next morning he slept in, and when he woke there was no-one in sight, he went down to the beach there was no-one there. Then he looked out to sea and saw in the distance his people in their canoe, all paddling furiously back to land. Since they could not shed his blood they had left him on the island to die; for there is only sulphur and steam on White Island, nothing grows and there is no water.

Te Tahi O Te Rangi did not harm them, but as the whale rushed past, he did a furious haka, stamping his feet, leaping into the air and yelling a war-song. When the people heard this, they were still more frightened, and greatly regretted their mistake. When they beached their canoe and went back to the village, they were feeling very ashamed of what they had done. They came to the place where they had to walk beneath the great grey rock on which Te Tahi O Te Rangi was accustomed to sit; they looked up, and there was the tohunga, looking as though he had never moved, glaring down fiercely at them and not saying a word. One by one, not saying a word either, and, greatly ashamed, the people walked beneath him along the path. When he was asked why he did not use his magic to destroy his faithless people, Te Tahi O Te Rangi replied, “Waiho rātou mā tō ratou whakamā hei patu”, ‘No, let their shame be their punishment’; and this saying has become proverbial among Ngāti Awa whenever the tribe’s mana is demeaned.

URETARA ISLAND Uretara Island is situated in the Ōhiwa Harbour, it is 73.3 hectares in area, and is densely covered in secondary and tertiary growth, mainly Kānuka forest, Pōhutukawa, Wattle and Mānuka. In 1984 the island was classed as a Scenic Reserve as many different bird species inhabited the island as well as other animal species. Although the island has been modified by human activity the remains of pā sites, middens etc are still discernible. In 1986 the NZ Archaeological Association visited the island and identified at least two large pā sites. It is estimated that the larger pā site, Paripari, would have been capāble of supporting approximately 500 people. In 1866 Uretara was confiscated by the Crown.

Ngāti Awa Te Tai Ngāti Awa Te Tai – the Ngāti Awa Settlement Story was launched on 9 November 2018 at Te Mānuka Tūtahi marae by the Rt Honorable Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. Accompanying the Prime Minister was the Green Party Co-Leader Marama Davidson. Ngāti Awa Te Tai was produced in partnership with Te Manatū Taonga and is a series of interviews presented in digital format. Ngāti Awa Te Tai can be viewed across multimedia platforms and has two key benefits for Ngāti Awa: a record of our stories for future generations, and an education resource as a means to break down barriers towards mutual understanding and our advancement. We want a future that embraces the past, a future that includes us and our aspirations, and a future of genuine negotiation with us as a Tiriti partner. Ngāti Awa Te Tai is painful and affirming. As a raupatu iwi it is painful to recount who was lost, how they were lost and what was lost. It is painful to acknowledge the break in our whakapapa and the destruction of our way of life, our culture and identity. And affirming in that we survived, we have endured, and we have some ability to chart our own course. The next steps we take today are as important as the decisions made by our tīpuna to resist and reject colonial government and militia. We want our children to know who they are, to have confidence to live as Ngāti Awa on their own terms following their aspirations. We want to live today as Ngāti Awa, in our rohe with our ancestral taonga - our lands, our waters, and our culture and traditions. Ngāti Awa Te Tai is one part of supporting this.

Our strength as an iwi is our people. We know and understand that what is good for us is good for all of Aotearoa. This is why, we will continue to be on and cross the bridge taking responsibility for our own destiny. Dr Hohepa Mason said, “We offer Ngāti Awa Te Tai to the people of Aotearoa as a means to communicate our history, our endurance and our future. We desire to live as Ngāti Awa on our lands, as kaitiaki and tangata whenua, with our language, identity and culture flourishing, and with strong and well whānau and hapū. This is who we are. This is our koha to Aotearoa.”

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | ANNUAL REPORT 2019

We understand and know that the past guides us and that we live in two worlds – te ao Pākehā and te ao Māori - everyday in Aotearoa. The burden for Māori and iwi has been heavier than for Pākehā, in reaching a place that

we respect and acknowledge the history of Aotearoa, and the tangata whenua. Māori and iwi cross the bridge regularly and find Pākehā and government to cross sometimes, or not at all, maybe take a detour around the bridge, or the bridge is moved, closed for repairs or removed.

Cultural Identity & Connectivity/Leadership Taiohi & Rangatahi Leadership Programmes Te Runanga o Ngāti Awa ran a number of programmes in 2018 for rangatahi including a holiday leadership programme. The holiday programme focussed on providing leadership experiences for rangatahi who had an opportunity to plan, lead and implement digital creative story telling, compose a rap in Te Reo Māori on bullying and prodcued an interactive eBook that was launched on a website built by the rangatahi. Our 2018 Rangatahi Leadership Programme participants were: RANGATAHI/TAIOHI 2018 LEADERSHIP AWARDS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Creative Reo Wānanga A Te Reo Māori promotion video produced by Uenuku Jefferies featuring different hapū members at various levels of te reo Māori competency was released to highlight our activities and explaining why learning te reo Māori is important to the participants. These wānanga are very popular as they provide a safe and comfortable domain for all participants to practise, develop and learn. They also give ngā uri an opportunity to express and develop their creative talents through three workshops which are run at each wānanga mahi toi, waihanga waiata and waihanga kōrero. Our kaiako have included Te Kei Merito, Moerangi Black, Pouroto Ngaropo, Dr Agnes McFarland, Erana Koopu, Reremoana Pitau and Beau Stowers.

Karakia Tawhito Wānanga Run for the first time by Te Runanga o Ngāti Awa, twenty-five people registered. The feedback was excellent. Participants learnt the origins, structure and different types of karakia tawhito.

Kuia Harvest Wānanga and Harvest These wānanga have a following, despite October being a very busy month for iwi in general. Up to 40 people attended. The wānanga are a pre-requisite to attending a harvest. Information on the history of Moutohorā, kōrero on how to identify their rua and harvest is provided. The processing of the kuia was carried out at Te Mānuka Tūtahi Marae by a small dedicated team who started early and did not finish until late evening. This team is keen to share their learnings with all hapū of Ngāti Awa and pass on that mantle.

Ngāti Awa and the Treaty of Waitangi/ Whakamaumahara o te Tīriti o Waitangi

Since the mid 1980’s Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa have commemorated the signing of the Treaty by Ngāti Awa on the 16 June each year. Traditionally, the day begins with a 6.00am karakia at Pōhaturoa .

Whakapapa Wānanga Forty-nine people registered online for this wānanga but up to 60 attended. The feedback from the attendees has been very positive.

Te Mānuka Tūtahi Marae and Mataatua Wharenui

Te Mānuka Tūtahi Marae - and Mataatua Wharenui - enjoyed an unprecedented and extraordinary revenue increase in 2018/19, while strengthening it’s status as a cultural icon of both Ngāti Awa and the Eastern Bay of Plenty.

around 300%, clearly illustrating the benefit of a structured and strategic marketing programme developed and delivered by local marketing firm Mauriora Marketing and PR Ltd. Future investment is being planned under Ngāti Awa Pōhiri Rau.

A more strategic approach to Mataatua marketing activity implemented over the last three years continues to pay dividends, with operating sales doubling from $51,000 in 2018 to $112,000 in 2019. The latest growth result boosts combined total growth since 2016 to

Performance highlights for 2018/19 include:


Our language and culture Increased Profile In International Markets Driven By Succesful Media Pitching Activity and Enhanced Relationships with Tourism New Zealand The catalyst for this extraordinary growth has been increased profile and engagement with the travel trade, and Mataatua being selected to feature in a number of global promotional campaigns, including the National Geographic Travel and Tourism New Zealand partnership campaign. The campaign – said to be the largest Tourism New Zealand has ever executed – exposed Mataatua to a global audience of around 300 million. Mataatua also featured in 15 other unique media results, reaching a combined audience of over 20 million for an Estimated Advertising Value of around $2.5 million (exclusive of National Geographic campaign)

Ngāti Awatanga

Mataatua now regularly rates among top Māori cultural products in New Zealand Efforts to correctly communicate the unique attributes of the Mataatua brand and proposition has strengthened the reputation of Mataatua as one of the leading Māori cultural products in New Zealand. Consequently, Mataatua is regularly promoted by key stakeholders such as Tourism New Zealand, Tourism Bay of Plenty and New Zealand Māori Tourism as an exemplary model of an exceptional cultural tourism experience with compelling and unique points of difference. This has resulted in a number of aspiring and emerging Māori cultural tourism operators from around the motu being referred to and hosted on familiarisation tours of Mataatua to help inform their own development plans, emphasising the leadership position Ngāti Awa now holds in the iwi tourism space.

Cultural Development and Succession Through Tourism Activity Among the most pleasing aspects of Mataatua tourism activity is the incredibly unique opportunity for staff to develop and hone their cultural skills as part of their day-to-day role as Pou Arataki. By the very nature of their work, staff are able to regularly practice their karakia, wero, karanga, whaikōrero and waiata in live situations, in front of real manuhiri. This has resulted in all Pou Arataki swiftly gaining the confidence and competence to perform these vital cultural roles to the required standard, preparing and developing them to be the Ngāti Awa cultural leaders of the future.

Increased Travel Trade Awareness and Engagement

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | ANNUAL REPORT 2019

Awareness of Mataatua amongst the international travel trade continues to grow on the back of sustained participation in TRENZ and Explore CNI trade shows and numerous industry famils reflective of increased efforts to grow relationships in this space. Mataatua was also sponsored by New Zealand Māori Tourism to attend the New Zealand China Travel Festival, with a view to developing opportunities in this lucrative market. A highlight of this activity was confirmation of a significant cruise sector incentive booking that will see 150 VIPs passengers visit Mataatua as the preferred shore visit destination. This will be by far the largest and most lucrative single tour booking Mataatua has ever attracted.

NGĀTI AWA GROUP HOLDINGS LTD NGĀTI AWA ASSET HOLDINGS LTD

Chairman’s Report

The directors of Ngāti Awa Group Holdings Limited and Ngāti Awa Asset Holdings Limited (together jointly referred to in this report as the “Commercial Group” or “Group”) are pleased to be able to report to you on their activities and results for the financial year ended June 2019.

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | ANNUAL REPORT 2019

Three pou have underpinned our work this year these being: the adoption of a “Letter of Expectation” with our shareholder, Te Runanga o Ngāti Awa (“TRONA”); a review and refresh of the Group’s Strategic Plan; and, the appointment of a new Chief Executive, Ms Tracey Hook (Te Āti Haunui-aPāpārangi and Ngā Wairiki) who takes up the role in November 2019.

40

The Letter of Expectation is a formal (but not constitutional) tool that provides an opportunity for our Shareholder (TRONA) to set out its expectations of the Group for the coming year. It also provides the opportunity for the Group to consider TRONA’s expectations as it develops its annual plan. In the first quarter of the financial year and as signalled in last year’s report, your directors, senior management of both the Commercial Group and TRONA, and a number of Representatives participated in a review of the Group’s Strategic Plan. While some of the existing strategies were revalidated additional objectives were introduced to ensure strong alignment with the strategic direction of TRONA as outlined in Te Ara Poutama o Ngāti Awa. These included objectives relating to optimising business and employment opportunities for our Ngāti Awa people. We comment more on this later in

this report and also on the change in senior management. While the outcome for the financial year ended 30 June 2019 is down on the exceptional results achieved last year, a solid performance has nonetheless been realised with an operating surplus of $2.1 million. The total return on assets over the latest 5 year rolling period has fallen to 6.4% from a level of 6.7% for a similar period finishing June 2018. The biggest contributor to this fall has been the dairy farming operations, in particular Tumurau Farm. Within the farming portfolio the significant operational deficit attributable to Tumurau has been partially offset by achieving an operational surplus on Ngakauroa Farm and a close to breakeven result


TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA

on the Ngāti Awa Farm. Given this asset class is the biggest component of the Group’s total portfolio your directors and management continue to work diligently to improve the returns from our farming operations and have already taken steps to reduce operational costs and improve efficiencies. In respect of other asset classes, and setting aside fair value movements (revaluations), your directors can report income returns (cash) from the financial assets portfolio, forest leases, fisheries and investment properties were either on par or slightly below last year’s performance. Given the prevailing macro-economic conditions your directors believe this to be a satisfactory outcome. Across the total investment portfolio the most significant positive cash contributor has been horticulture which provided an increased income return of 7%. This is an outstanding result and we can report that an even greater contribution is anticipated for the current financial year.

In line with our commitment to Te Ara Poutama Ngāti Awa to provide employment opportunities for our people, we are pleased to report that at year’s end 25% of the staff

We place a high priority on ensuring all our employees, contractors and visitors return home safely every day. This priority saw our Whakaari White Island Tours and wider management team receive the “Safe365 2018 Safest Place to Work Award” for Small Business (50 staff and below). Our management team and staff continue to be rewarded for their diligence with the Ngāti Awa Farm, Ngakauroa Farm and Whakaari White Island Tours (for a second time) all being nominated as finalists for this year’s Awards. In a further commitment to Te Ara Poutama Ngāti Awa we have worked alongside TRONA and the Whakatāne District Council in progressing the wider “Whakatāne Regeneration Programme”. A key component of this work programme is the development of the Tourism Hub which is centred on the refurbishment of the Army Hall. While this is an exciting opportunity it is dependent on receiving support from the Provincial Growth Fund. At the time of writing we are awaiting the outcome of our funding application. In our 2016/17 report we advised the creation of the Associated Director “cadetship” programme to enable our rangatahi to gain exposure to, and experience in, governance. It is pleasing to be able to report our two “inaugural” Associates Natalie Coates (Te Pahipoto) and Hone Paul (Ngāti Pukeko) have not only developed into outstanding future leaders but also made significant contributions to the board’s deliberations. As their terms conclude this year the board has agreed to continue what it considers a very worthwhile project and will be in a position to announce the new Associates at the AGM. Director Peter Drummond’s term of appointment terminates at the AGM and the board records its warm appreciation for the outstanding contribution he has made during his time with us. Peter joined the Board following a substantive board refresh in 2014. As an independent and very experienced director Peter, has been able to bring not only a wealth of business acumen to our deliberations but has also been a voice of reason and maturity. The board takes this opportunity to record its sincere thanks for the outstanding contribution he has made. During the reporting year our Chief Executive Officer, Geoff Hamilton, resigned. Geoff joined us following the 2014 refresh. The Board takes this opportunity to acknowledge his leadership in resolving a number of outstanding and challenging financial issues confronting the organisation at the time of his appointment and wishes him well for his future. With Geoff’s departure an extra burden has been placed on our Chief Financial Officer and the rest of the management team to ensure the business of the Group continued unabated. The Board takes this opportunity to record its genuine indebtedness to Peter Thomas and the team for their achievements in ensuring all workstreams continued without interruption. On behalf of the Board I take this opportunity to thank Ngāti Awa for the support they have provided in entrusting the directors with the guardianship of its commercial assets. You can be assured it is a responsibility we take seriously.

B Paul Quinn CHAIRMAN

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | ANNUAL REPORT 2019

There has been substantial improvement in the performance of the Whakaari White Island Tours business during the reporting period such that, on a financial basis, we achieved a small profit on this investment. In April we took delivery of our new vessel, Te Puia Whakaari, and it is pleasing to be able to report that it has been performing up to expectations. This includes the ability to sail more days in a month because of its weather tolerance capability being greater than the existing fleet. As the remaining fleet reaches the end of its useful life we propose standardising the fleet on the Te Puia Whakaari model. This will drive a number of efficiencies within the business not the least being one stock of spare parts.

employed within the Whakaari White Island Tours business are Ngāti Awa. This represents a significant improvement having come from a base of 5% at the time of purchase. A continuing focus will be placed on offering such employment opportunities across all our activities.

Te Puia Whakaari After 12 months of design and construction, White Island Tours took delivery of the new purpose built catamaran Te Puia Whakaari in April.

The boat’s artistic design features the work of two prominent Māori artists, Lawrence Hohua and Takutaimoana Harawira, who were commissioned to develop a design concept for the new vessel that incorporated traditional Ngāti Awa korero and artistic principles. The hull features two manu (birds), designed by Hohua to acknowledge Takeretou and Mumuhou; the avian guardians who guided Mataatua to Whakatāne. Whilst on the rear upper deck, Harawira’s design pays homage to the tohunga, Te Tahi o Te Rangi.

• Carries up to 49 passengers • 19 metres in length, 7.1 metres beam • Designed by Teknicraft in Auckland • Built by Q-West boat builders in Whanganui • Twin Scania D16 950hp Diesel Engines • Twin HJ403 Hamilton Jets • Adjustable hydrofoil • Naiad Ride control stabilisation system • Draft 0.9m (at rest), 0.1m (cruising) • Build time: 12 months - including designs

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | ANNUAL REPORT 2019

Te Puia Whakaari incorporates the latest in maritime technology and ensures the enhancement of the experience delivered to our manuhiri. The vessel reduces the travel time to Whakaari and incorporates ride stabilisation technology to reduce the incidence of motion sickness. Te Puia Whakaari will reduce the number of tour cancellations due to rough sea conditions and improves health and safety outcomes for staff and passengers through improved loading and unloading methods while at Whakaari.

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2019

1 General Information

Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa ("the Rūnanga") and its subsidiaries (together "the Group") manage the cultural, social, political and economic base of the Ngāti Awa iwi. The Rūnanga was incorporated under the Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa Act 1988, which was subject to the Maori Trust Board Act 1955. Under Section 5 of Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa Act 2005, the Rūnanga ceased to be a Maori Trust Board from 25 March 2005, but continues as the same body as established by the Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa Act 1988. The Rūnanga is domiciled in New Zealand. The address of the registered office is 10 Louvain Street, Whakatāne. The financial statements of the Rūnanga and the Group are for the year ended 30 June 2019. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer on behalf of the Board of Representatives on 25 October 2019.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. a) Basis of Preparation The Rūnanga is a registered charity under the Charities Act 2005 and its financial statements have been prepared in accordance with that Act, the Financial Reporting Act 2013 and as required by the Charter of Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa. The Rūnanga is a public benefit entity (“PBE”) for the purposes of financial reporting. A PBE is an entity whose primary objective is to provide goods or services for community or social benefit and where any equity has been provided with a view of supporting that primary objective rather than for a financial return to equity holders. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“NZ GAAP”). The financial statements comply with the PBE Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime (“PBE Standards RDR”) as appropriate for Tier 2 not-for-profit public benefit entities, for which reduced disclosure regime concessions have been applied. The Rūnanga qualifies for Tier 2 as it has total expenses less than $30 million and does not have public accountability.

The Group consists of the Rūnanga and its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures as listed in Note 31. Basis of Preparing Consolidated Financial Statements

Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are those entities controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Rūnanga, that is, the Rūnanga has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements using the acquisition method. The consideration for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interest issued by the Rūnanga. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Rūnanga recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's net assets. The surplus or deficit and each component of other comprehensive revenue and expense of subsidiaries are attributed to equity holders of the Rūnanga and to the noncontrolling interests. Losses which result in non-controlling interests having a deficit balance are only attributed to noncontrolling interests if the non-controlling interests have a binding obligation and are able to make an additional investment to cover the losses. Joint Venture Receivables

The joint ventures are established by a contractual agreement. The Rūnanga's share of the net surplus of the joint ventures is recognised in the statement of comprehensive revenue and expense. The investment held on the statement of financial position reflects the Rūnanga's share of net assets of the joint venture. Transactions Eliminated on Consolidation

The effects of intra-group transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. b) Revenue Exchange transactions are transactions which one entity receives assets or services, or has liabilities extinguished, and directly gives approximately equal value in exchange. The Rūnanga enters into a number of exchange and nonexchange transactions, and the specific accounting policies are set out below: Rental Income

Rental income is recognised in surplus or deficit on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | ANNUAL REPORT 2019

The presentation and functional currency of the Group and the Rūnanga is New Zealand Dollars (NZD). The measurement base applied is historical cost, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets and liabilities as identified in these accounting policies.

the entity so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The Rūnanga's consolidated subsidiary companies generally have an accompanying shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The Rūnanga's consolidated subsidiary trusts are where the Rūnanga appoints all the trustees of the trust and their activities are conducted on behalf of the Rūnanga. The results and financial position of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive revenue and expense and statement of financial position from the date control is gained up to the date control ceases.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont)

c) Expenses

Grants and funding income (from the Government or other parties) are non-exchange transactions and are recognised in surplus or deficit when the Rūnanga becomes entitled to receive (or has received) the funds. The grants are recognised as revenue in surplus or deficit, except where conditions which require the grant to be used as specified or returned remain unfulfilled at balance date, in which case the related amount is recognised as a liability. In addition, a liability is recognised in respect of other return clauses (if any) where it is probable that payment will be required.

Operating lease payments where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased items are included in equal instalments over the term of the lease and expensed to surplus or deficit. Lease incentives received are recognised over the term of the lease as an integral part of the total lease payments.

Grant and Funding Income

Farming Operations Income

Farming operations income includes dairy income and livestock sales. Income is recognised in surplus or deficit when the revenue associated with the transactions can be measured reliably. Revenues from the sale of goods are recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred, the Group retains neither involvement nor control over the goods sold, it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Group and the costs incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Dividend Income

Dividend income is recognised in surplus or deficit on the date the Group's right to receive payment is established. Other Income

Other income is recognised in surplus or deficit when the revenue associated with the transactions can be measured reliably for the rendering of goods and services. Revenue from the sale of goods are recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred, the Group retains neither involvement nor control over the goods sold, it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Group and the costs incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Revenue for services provided under exchange transactions are recognised on a percentage of completion basis, as the services are provided.

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | ANNUAL REPORT 2019

Net Financing (Expense)/Income

52

Net financing income represents financing income less financing expenses. Financing income comprises interest income received on funds invested that are recognised in surplus or deficit. Financing expenses comprise interest paid on borrowings. Interest income is recognised in surplus or deficit as the income accrues on an effective interest basis. Any fees and directly related transaction costs that are an integral part of earning interest income are recognised over the expected life of the investment, that is, these costs are recognised evenly in proportion to the investment amount outstanding over the period to maturity.

Operating Leases

Grants and sponsorships

Grants and sponsorship costs are recognised as an expense in surplus or deficit (and as a liability) when the Rūnanga has a constructive or actual obligation to make the payment. This is usually when the Rūnanga has entered into an agreement with, or otherwise notified the recipient of the agreed amount. The Rūnanga considers at each balance date whether it is probable that the recipient will be required to repay the grant or sponsorship under the terms and conditions of the agreement, in which case a receivable would be recognised and the grant expense reversed where this is recoverable. d) Taxation Income Tax

Income tax on surplus for the period relates to current tax. It is recognised in surplus or deficit as tax expense, except when it relates to items directly credited to equity, in which case it is recorded in equity, or where it arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, in which case it is included in the determination of goodwill. Current tax is the expected tax payable on taxable income for the period, based on tax rates (and tax laws) which are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and including any adjustments for tax payable in previous periods. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable). Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only to the extent that they relate to income taxes imposed by the same taxation authority and there is a legal right and intention to settle on a net basis and it is allowed under tax law. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised where the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the consolidated statement of financial position differs from its tax base, except for differences arising on: - The initial recognition of goodwill - The initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit, and - Investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities where the Rūnanga is able to control the timing of the reversal of the difference and it is probable that the difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Recognition of deferred tax assets is restricted to those instances where it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the difference can be utilised.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont)

l) Intangible assets

The Group has Māori Authority status. Entities in the Group are tax exempt except for Ngāti Awa Asset Holdings Limited which has a tax liability of 17.5%. Taxes paid by Ngāti Awa Asset Holdings Limited generate Māori Authority Credits, which are tax credits available to pass onto its shareholder. Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa recognises a tax receivable from the IRD for the Māori Authority Credits received from Ngāti Awa Asset Holdings Limited in the period in which the credits have been distributed.

Intangible assets include carbon credits acquired by way of a Government grant and are recognised at fair value. Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation are credited to other comprehensive revenue and expense except to the extent they reverse a previous decrease recognised in surplus or deficit. Decreases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation are recognised in other comprehensive revenue and expense to the extent they reverse a previous increase, any further decrease will be recognised in surplus or deficit.

Māori Authority Tax Credits

e) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes deposits held at call with banks and other short term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of less than 3 months. f) Trade and Other Receivables Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost on an effective interest basis, less provision for doubtful debts. Bad debts are written off during the year in which they are identified. The Group applies the simplified approach for trade and other receivables, which requires the lifetime expected credit losses to be applied when measuring the loss allowance. g) Livestock Livestock is carried at fair value where fair value is based on the market price of livestock of similar age and gender. Gains and losses on changes in fair value are recognised in surplus or deficit. Livestock consists of sheep and cattle. h) Investments Investments are carried at fair value unless they are not quoted in an active market and their fair value cannot be reliably measured. The fair value of such investments is reliably measurable where the variability in the range for a reasonable fair value estimate is not significant or probabilities of the various estimates within the range of fair values can be reasonably assessed and used in estimating fair value. Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost. i) Investment Properties Investment properties are stated at fair value. Any movement on revaluation is recognised in surplus or deficit. Management test fair value annually with an independent assessment not more than five yearly intervals. Farm Woodlot

The Farm Woodlot asset represents standing trees at fair value less estimated point of sale costs. The farm woodlot asset is a consumable biological asset. Any movement in valuation is recognised in surplus or deficit. k) Forestry Land Assets Forestry land assets represent the land assets owned with long term licences to forestry companies. Forestry land assets are stated at fair value. Any movement in fair value is recognised in surplus or deficit.

Fish quota

Fish quota shares received by way of settlement are recognised at their fair value at the date of settlement and subsequently carried at cost less impairment. Fish quota is issued into perpetuity and therefore has an indefinite life. Given this, fish quota is not amortised, although it is tested annually for impairment. Goodwill

Goodwill that arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries and other business combinations is presented within intangible assets. Subsequent measurement

Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. Whakaari/White Island Landing License

The exclusive Whakaari/White Island landing license has a finite useful life and is initially recognised at fair value. Subsequently it is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation

Amortisation is recognised in the surplus or deficit on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: • Whakaari/White Island Landing License 18 years m) Property, Plant & Equipment All owned items of property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses with the exception of the Ngāti Awa Farm which is recorded at deemed cost. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits or service potential associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Cultural Assets

The cultural assets category includes carvings and flax tukutuku, these assets have been recorded at deemed cost. Te Mānuka Tūtahi Marae is carried at an assigned value on receipt from the Crown plus capital improvements. As cultural assets tend to have an indefinite life and are generally not of a depreciable nature, depreciation is not applicable.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont)

n) Depreciation Depreciation is recognised in the statement of comprehensive revenue and expense on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Depreciation is used to allocate the cost (deemed cost), less any residual value, over an asset's useful life. Land and Cultural Assets are not depreciated. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: Buildings...................................... 40 years Motor vehicles & Vessels............ 3 - 15 years Office furniture & equipment.... 3 - 10 years Farm equipment......................... 3 - 20 years Cultural assets............................. n/a Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at every reporting date. o) Financial Assets

Financial instruments

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | ANNUAL REPORT 2019

A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Group's contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risk and rewards of the asset. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group's obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.

54

Category (1) - Financial assets at amortised cost

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses) together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss. Category (2) - Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains/(losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other gains/(losses) and impairment expenses are presented as a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss. Category (3) - Financial assets at fair value through Profit or Loss (FVPL)

Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises.

Financial instruments comprise trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables.

Financial Liabilities

Financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs unless they are carried at fair value through profit or loss in which case the transaction costs are recognised in the profit or loss.

The Group classifies its financial liabilities as financial liabilities at amortised cost. The classification of financial liabilities is determined on initial recognition.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at balance date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price; the appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current ask price. The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification. The Group classifies financial assets into categories depending on their contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing financial assets. The categories of financial assets are:

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value, and in the case of loans and borrowings, include directly attributable transaction costs. All financial liabilities of the Group are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit loss.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2019

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont) Impairment of receivables

The group assesses, on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the company applies the simplified approach permitted by PBE IPSA 41, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. The recoverable amount of the Group’s investments in receivables carried at amortised cost is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows. Impairment losses on an individual basis are determined by an evaluation of the exposures on an instrument by instrument basis. All individual instruments that are considered significant are subject to this approach. p) Measurement of Non-financial Assets The carrying amounts of the Group's non-financial assets are reviewed at each balance date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount or recoverable service amount (“recoverable amount”) of the asset is estimated. If the estimated recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the asset is written down to its estimated recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive revenue and expense in surplus or deficit. The estimated recoverable amount of assets is the greater of their fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For cash generating assets the estimated recoverable amount is determined by estimating future cash flows from the use and ultimate disposal of the asset and discounting these to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market rates and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash flows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

An impairment loss on non-financial assets which are carried at fair value is applied to the other comprehensive revenue and expense but only to the extent that prior year gains are available to offset the impairment loss. All other impairment losses are recognised in surplus or deficit.

r) Term Loans Term loans are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Term loans are subsequently stated at amortised cost. If the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer payment of a liability for at least twelve months after balance date, then the term loan will be classified as a current liability. s) Employee Benefits

Salaries, Wages and Annual Leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits annual leave and expected to be settled within twelve months of reporting date, are recognised in other payables in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for nonaccumulating sick leave recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable. Long Service Leave

Long service leave benefits are accrued in other payables using the present value of net future cash flows. t) Goods and Services Tax These financial statements have been prepared on a basis exclusive of GST with the exception of trade receivables and trade payables that have been included on a GST inclusive basis.

3 Fair Value Estimation The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the statement of financial position date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is based on the current bid price. The fair value of financial and non financial assets that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at balance date. Techniques include estimated discounted cash flows which are used to determine fair value for the financial instruments with no quoted market price. The face value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | ANNUAL REPORT 2019

For non-cash generating assets the estimated recoverable amount is determined by estimating the depreciated replacement cost of the asset. The depreciated replacement cost is measured as the reproduction or replacement cost of the asset, whichever is lower, less accumulated depreciation calculated on the basis of such cost, to reflect the already consumed or expired service potential of the asset.

q) Trade and Other Payables Trade and other payables are measured initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2019

4 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events and are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. - Note 17, key assumptions underlying the valuation of investments not traded in an active market; - Note 22, key assumptions underlying the investment property valuation; - Note 24, key assumptions underlying the valuation of forestry land; - Note 26, key assumptions underlying the impairment testing of goodwill.

5 New and Amended standards adopted by the group Except as described below, the accounting policies applied in these consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied in the Group’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2019. PBE IPSAS 41 Financial Instruments Effective for Group reporting period beginning on: 1 July 2018

The Group has elected to early adopt PBE IPSAS 41 Financial Instruments effective 1 July 2018 without restatement, in accordance with the transition requirements. This standard sets out the new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting for financial instruments. The following changes to accounting policies due to application of PBE IPSAS 41 have been applied to these financial statements: Classification and measurement of financial assets The Group classifies its financial assets as subsequently measured at either amortised cost of fair value depending on the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. On adoption of PBE IPSAS 41, investments previously classified as available for sale are now classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. However there has been no material impact as these continue to be measured at fair value. Classification and measurement of financial liabilities Classification of financial liabilities remained unchanged for the Group. Financial liabilities continue to be measured at amortised cost. Changes to impairment of financial assets The PBE IPSAS 41 impairment requirements are based on an expected credit loss model, replacing the incurred loss methodology under PBE ISAS 29. The Group applies the simplified approach for trade and other receivables, which requires the lifetime expected credit losses to be applied when measuring the loss allowance. The impact of adopting PBE IPSAS 41 has not had a material impact on the loss allowance. The adoption of this accounting standard has not had a material impact on the financial statements.

20 Investments in Unlisted Shares

Investment in unlisted shares includes Moana New Zealand Limited shares (“the MNZ shares”) that were received on 30 March 2006 as part of the settlement proceeds in accordance with the Maori Fisheries Act 2004. The Maori Fisheries Act 2004 places restrictions on the sale of the MNZ shares where the shares can only be sold to either another Mandated Iwi Organisation or Te Ohu Kai Moana. The fair value of the MNZ income shares is based on cash flows calculated on an annual basis from 2020 to 2024 and a terminal value based on cash flows in 2024 with an assumed growth factor of 1.5% p.a. (2018: 1.5% p.a.) and a post-tax discount rate of 6.0% (2018: 6%). The MNZ shares are not actively traded and have no voting rights, due to this and the restrictions on sale a further discount of 30% (2018: 30%) has been applied to determine the fair value. The shares have been valued at $2.08 million (2018: $2.08 million). The Group has invested in Direct Capital IV Limited Partnership. Direct Capital IV invests in private equity opportunities with the intention of realising these investments and returning capital and capital gains to the partners over a 10 year time frame.

The Partnership is valued at $1.05 million (2018: $1.55 million). During the year the Partnership repaid capital of $0.62 million to the Group (2018: $0.20 million). The Group has invested in Pencarrow Bridge Fund LP.

Total Investment Properties

Residential properties on Wairaka and Toroa Streets (except 9-11 Toroa St) were independently valued as at 30 June 2017 by Boyes James McKay Limited. The valuation was based on market evidence of transactions for similar properties and direct comparison. For the 2019 financial statements management assessed the value of 9 - 11 Toroa St in comparison to the other Toroa Street properties based on the average value per square meter. Management assessed the fair value of land using an assumed rental yield of 6% for those properties that are tenanted and concluded no change in valuation was required.

The rent on Whakatāne, Ohope, and Apanui Schools were reviewed in April 2016 as per the respective rental agreements with the Ministry of Education. The initial valuations received by Ngāti Awa Properties and the Ministry of Education indicated a difference in the value of each of the three properties. As a consequence a subsequently negotiated mid-point between the two valuations is adopted as the fair market value in these financial statements.

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | ANNUAL REPORT 2019

The 2017 valuers are independent registered valuers not related to the Group. All valuers hold recognised and relevant professional qualifications and have recent experience in the locations of the investment property they have valued.

(i) Fish Quota

Fish quota is an intangible asset that provides annual catch entitlements for fish stock species. The quota is issued into perpetuity and has been classed as an indefinite life asset. The asset is not amortised, it is tested annually for impairment. The recoverable amount of the fish quota has been determined as the cash generating unit associated with the asset. Cash flows have been projected into perpetuity using a long term growth rate of inflation of 1.5% (2018: 1.5%) and discounted using the entity’s post tax weighted average cost of ca tal of 6.0% (2018: 6.0%). The carrying value of the fishing quota is $3.5 million (2018: $3.5 million). Management does not expect that a reasonable change in key assumptions would result in a material reduction in the recoverable amount of the fish quota below its carrying amount.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2019 26 Intangible Assets (cont.) (ii) Carbon Credits

The New Zealand Emission Trading Scheme (ETS) became law on 26 September 2008 with the passing of the Climate Change Response (Emissions Trading) Amendment Act 2008 (the Act). The Act was amended during 2010 with the passing of the Climate Change Response (Moderated Emissions Trading) Amendment Bill on 25 November 2010. Under the provisions of the Act the Group is a deemed participant in the ETS as it is an owner of pre-1990 forest land. The Act provided for an allocation of 60 New Zealand carbon units (NZUs) per hectare to be transferred to the Group. Based on this allocation the Group received 477,647 NZUs. The Act provided for the credits to be transferred in two tranches. The Group recognised the allocation of the first tranche of NZUs as government grant income in surplus or deficit in 2010 as the allocation was considered to represent compensation of the lower value of land already incurred. The carbon credits are assessed as having an indefinite life as they have no expiry date and the Group is able to either hold the NZUs within the carbon register or alternatively trade the NZUs in domestic or international carbon markets. The second tranche of NZUs was recognised by the Group as government grant income in surplus or deficit in November 2012. This allocation was recognised as a result of the Climate Change Response Amendment Act 2012, which was passed into law on 13 November 2012. This amendment removed the previous uncertainty around the recognition of pre-1990 forestry allocations. Under the ETS the Group will have an obligation to account for any emission released as a consequence of deforestation of pre-1990 forest land by surrendering NZUs equal to the extent of that emission. The Group has no liability for deforestation as at 30 June 2019 (2018: nil). An active market exists for carbon credits and they are recognised at fair value based on quoted prices as at 30 June 2019. The Rotoehu West forest was held by the Rūnanga on behalf of the Ngāti Hikakino and Ngāi Te Rangihouhiri II Hapū (Note 29). The forest entitles the Hapū to an allocation of 60,373 NZUs. The Group has transferred the ownership of the forest land to the Rotoehu Forest Trust. The Group still holds the carbon credits associated with the forest and will transfer them to the Rotoehu Forest Trust when they have completed registration with the Ministry for the Environment. The actual number of carbon credits transferred to the Hapū may differ depending on the independently surveyed land area. The value of carbon credits held on behalf of the Hapū as at 30 June 2019 is $1,395 million (2018: $1,274 million), refer to note 29.

(iii) Goodwill

Goodwill has arisen on the purchase of White Island Tours. Goodwill was initially recorded as the difference between the fair value of the identifiable net assets and price paid on acquisition. The asset is not amortised, it is tested annually for impairment. Management consider that the tour business and the motel/cafe constitute two cash generating units (“CGU’s”). For the purpose of impairment testing, management consider that the Goodwill arises from the synergies of the combination of these CGU’s and therefore the recoverable amount of both CGU’s is combined.For the tour business, cash flows have been projected into perpetuity using a long term growth rate of inflation of 1.6% (2018: 1.6%) and discounted using the entity’s post tax weighted average cost of capital of 10.5% (2018: 11.5%). For the motel/cafe, the recoverable amount has been assessed as the fair value less costs to sell. The carrying value of the goodwill is $2.90 million (2018: $2.90 million).

(iv) Whakaari/White Island Landing License

The license relates to the landing rights included in the purchase of White Island Tours. The rights have initially been recognised at fair value. The landing rights have been independently valued on 30 June 2017 by Crowe Horwath (NZ) Limited. The valuation used a discounted cash flow applying a post tax discount rate of 11.4%.

(v) Whakatāne Airport

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | ANNUAL REPORT 2019

The Rūnanga has a right to receive at no cost the Whakatāne airport land if the use of the land ceases to be that of an airport. There is nil value attached to the right to purchase.

(vi) Radio Frequency

The radio frequency licence used by Te Reo Irirangi o Te Mānuka Tūtahi is issued to the Rūnanga. This asset has nil value.

Opinion In our opinion, the accompanying Rūnanga and Group financial statements of Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa (the ’Rūnanga’) and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') on pages 47 to 76:

We have audited the accompanying Rūnanga and Group financial statements which comprise:

The Rūnanga and Group statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019;

i. Present fairly in all material respects the Rūnanga's and Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year ended on that date; and

The Rūnanga and Group statements of comprehensive revenue and expense, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended; and

Notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

ii. Comply with Public Benefit Entity Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime (Not For Profit).

Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (‘ISAs (NZ)’). We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. We are independent of the Rūnanga and Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 (Revised) Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (‘IESBA Code’), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. Our responsibilities under ISAs (NZ) are further described in the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Rūnanga and Group financial statements section of our report. Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in, the Rūnanga and Group.

The Representatives, on behalf of the Rūnanga and Group, are responsible for the other information included in the entity’s financial statements. Our opinion on the Rūnanga and Group financial statements does not cover any other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the Rūnanga and Group financial statements our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Rūnanga and Group financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 34

Use of this independent auditor’s report This independent auditor’s report is made solely to the Members as a body. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Members those matters we are required to state to them in the independent auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Members as a body for our audit work, this independent auditor’s report, or any of the opinions we have formed.

Responsibilities of the Representatives for the Rūnanga and Group financial statements The Representatives, on behalf of the Rūnanga, are responsible for:

The preparation and fair presentation of the Rūnanga and Group financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand (being Public Benefit Entity Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime (Not For Profit));

Implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Rūnanga and Group set of financial statements that is fairly presented and free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

Assessing the ability to continue as a going concern. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Rūnanga and Group financial statements Our objective is:

To obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Rūnanga and Group financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

To issue an independent auditor’s report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs NZ will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Rūnanga and Group financial statements. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of these Rūnanga and Group financial statements is located at the External Reporting Board (XRB) website at: TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | ANNUAL REPORT 2019
