“The core business of the Board since the return of the bed of Lake Taupō and its waterways now demands a clearer focus and effort, particularly around issues of control, management, protection, monitoring , regulation, and commercial ventures affecting Lake Taupō ... I encourage the Board to maintain it’s focus on these matters, including pursuing proprietary rights over Ngāti Tūwharetoa taonga, and potential commerical outcomes”. - Te Ariki te Heuheu Tukino VIII Tumu

A NINETY YEAR LEGACY 1926 the tüwharetoa mäori trust board is established. After negotiating with the then Prime Minister, Joseph Coates, an agreement was reached between the Government and Ngāti Tūwharetoa elders regarding trout fishery access and licensing arrangements. This gave the tribe a reliable, ongoing fund that could be used for tribal purposes.

1930’s

1950’s

The Trust Board works with Sir Apirana Ngata to establish a land development scheme on Ngāti Tūwharetoa land.

From 1938 the Trust Board worked to protect Rotoaira from the planned hydro development.

Today, Ngāti Tūwharetoa holds approximately 50,000 hectares of native vegetation, 55% (25,000 hectares) of pastoral land, 60% (39,000 hectares of planted forest) and 99% ownership of all waterbodies.

1940’s From 1927 to 1948 the Trust Board worked tirelessly to seek compensation for commercial benefit that might have been lost by Ngāti Tūwharetoa landowners abutting Lake Taupō tributaries when the right-of-way was created along the riverbanks. After 21 years they were successful, and in 1948 compensation was awarded. In 1941 the Trust Board also supported Ngāti Tūwharetoa landowners abutting Lake Taupō. When the Taupō Control Gates were installed the lake level rose and caused damage through erosion, stream backup, and the creation of swampland. By 1948 the case was successful and compensation was paid to the affected landowners.

The Trust Board pursued gaining title of the land for the people of Rotoaira and after 20 years of legal wrangling the title was finally awarded to the people of Rotoaira in 1958.

1960’s & 70’s In 1960 Lake Taupō waters were raised to ease flooding on the lower Waikato River causing further damage to the lands surrounding Lake Taupō. The Trust Board was again successful in gaining compensation for the landowners affected. In the late 1960s the Trust Board finances the establishment of the Lake Taupō Forest Trust and the Lake Rotoaira Forest Trust. Today Lake Taupō Forest Trust and Lake Rotoaira Forest Trust are world recognised and Forest Stewardship Council compliant.

1990’s In 1992, under the leadership of Sir Hepi te Heuheu, the Trust Board negotiated the return of the Taupō Waters (lake bed and Tributaries).

2000’s In 2007 a further agreement was reached with the Crown confirming the nature and rights of the Trust Board to control, manage, protect, monitor and regulate the use of Taupō Waters. This agreement also confirmed the ability for the Trust Board to licence all commercial activities operating upon Taupō Waters.

2010’s In 2014, the Trust Board negotiated a commercial water storage agreement with Mighty River Power for the purposes of commercial hydro electricity generation upon Lake Taupō. This type of agreement was a first of its kind and recognised Ngāti Tūwharetoa’s property rights as owner of Lake Taupō.

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

It is my pleasure to report to Ngāti Tūwharetoa on our activities for the 2015-16 year.

I am pleased to report that grants and distributions to our iwi have increased for the third consecutive year, to $1.8m.

role in supporting our trust’s and incorporations with the challenges that arise with new policy and regulation.

The Tūwharetoa Māori Trust Board has continued to make significant gains over the last year. Our key achievements have included:

The major area of increase has been in supporting our kaumātua, our marae and our students in their pursuit of education.

economic success

• a continued focus on the wellbeing and aspirations of our people; • organisational realignment and the development of aligned projects and workstreams; • an increase in economic development, educational and healthcare support opportunities for our people • positive surpluses and sound financial management; • adoption of a new engagement and reporting framework which will provide greater clarity on the role, responsibility and effectiveness of the Trust Board.

We are continually reviewing the effectiveness of these initiatives moving forward.

he tangata, he tangata, he tangata The charitable side of our business continues to be a major area of effort and focus for the Trust Board. It is a major area of benefit for our people and iwi as a whole.

taonga tuku iho A significant amount of resource continues to be invested in the continued protection and management of our natural resources. Work in this space is constant and requires a unique and tailored approach to remain ahead of new policy. It also requires the Trust Board to engage on a regular basis at multiple levels to maintain constructive relationships with key stakeholders, locally, regionally and nationally. Under the leadership of our CEO, a concerted effort is underway to expand capability in this area and broaden our focus to support not only the taonga under our immediate responsibility but also to play a greater leadership

Financial performance remains positive with net assets increasing to $59.2m ($58.2m FY2014-15) and a $1.7m surplus for the year. As you are aware we have also established and appointed directors to our new commercial subsidiary company – Taupō Moana Group Holdings Ltd. The purpose of Taupō Moana Group Holdings is to grow the asset base and realise further commercial and direct investment opportunities. The company is chaired by Tiwana Tibble who is supported by two independent directors, Shelley Katae and Hayden Porter - both have strong backgrounds in the property and tourism sectors. The company has been very active over the past 12-months identifying high value opportunities and joint venture opportunities with other Tūwharetoa entities.

ko tongariro te maunga ko taupö te moana ko tüwharetoa te iwi ko te heuheu te tangata

Another project that the Trust Board has prioritised is the licensing of commercial operators. This project is important as it underpins the recognition of Ngāti Tūwharetoa's property rights. Whilst it seems straight forward, one of the continuing issues that we are facing by some of the commercial operators and members of the wider community is a continual challenge on our property rights insofar as the Taupō Waters are concerned. The Trust Board has reached a stage where we may have to consider seeking legal clarification on the matter. Over the years, we have received advice from some of New Zealand’s top counsel’s and are confident of our position.

organisational improvement Last year we announced that the Board had adopted a new framework to guide us with strategy and operations – Results Based Accountability™, or more commonly known as RBA. RBA is an outcomes management framework that we have adopted to

assist us to identify and achieve real results and outcomes for our whānau and our resources. Six months since its introduction, we are beginning to see the benefits and have received positive feedback from our beneficiaries. It’s important to remind whānau that RBA is a framework that will help target our efforts and measure change over the long-term. As such, the next step in our process is to identify our targets for our key indicators.

comprehensive claim As you may be aware, the Tūwharetoa Hapū Forum (THF), as the body mandated to negotiate with the Crown, is nearing the final stages of their negotiation with the Crown. We acknowledge the progress that the THF has made on behalf of Ngāti Tūwharetoa. We are currently assessing the full implications of the settlement on our activities and we will be convening hui in 2017 to discuss these issues and provide an opportunity for you to provide your input and perspective. We will continue to keep you closely informed of developments.

acknowledgements I acknowledge and congratulate our staff for their collective efforts to continually improve the delivery of programmes, benefits and launch new initiatives as summarised in the operations report.

OPERATIONAL REPORT

ko tüwharetoa te iwi

NGATI TUWHARETOA LIVE AS TUWHARETOA marae insurance

marae capital grants

The Trust Board has a long history of supporting our marae the Tūwharetoa Marae Insurance scheme is been in place for many decades. Up until 2013, 50% of the insurance premium was paid for by the Trust Board and the remaining 50% was met by each respective marae. It was also at this time that AON Insurance was appointed as our broker.

The Trust Board is committed to supporting marae development through the provision of Marae Capital Works Grants. A total of 150K was invested into our capital works programme during the year.

Following feedback from marae, the Trust Board increased its support to cover 100% of the insurance premium costs for marae. The Trust Board recognises and acknowledges the difficulty that our marae have in meeting their running costs so this assistance is extremely valued. The importance of having proper insurance cover in place was demonstrated in 2015 when Mōkai Marae suffered a major loss when the wharekai, Parehinga Awatea, was lost to fire. The Trust Board worked closely with the whānau of Mōkai at this time and the planning toward the rebuild of the tupuna whare. The marae insurance scheme now supports 28 marae in total, with a combined annual premium of $244,000 for an asset value of $60 million.

Marina Alexander & moko Arekatera Turia

Hīrangi Marae – $65k Support was provided for the upgrade of the Wharepaku. Work is underway on the much needed renovations to the ablution block of Hīrangi Marae. A series of working bees have seen hapū members and brethren from the Mormon faith stripping the interior of the ablution block.

Nukuhau Marae – $65k Support was provided for an extensive kitchen upgrade which included the interior refurbishment and upgrade of facilities and equipment.

Poukura Marae – $20k Support was provided to build a retaining wall to stop further erosion of the marae reservation which included, the construction of a retaining wall, establishment of a shelter, regeneration and native plantings. The retaining wall was completed and the works led by previous Chairman, Ngakuru Edwards earlier this year. The remaining works will be completed by the new Trustees. Ngakuru said “The Trustees were appreciative of the quick response and granting of the funding as the erosion was severe and needed urgent attention”.

korowai äwhina o ngä marae o ngäti tüwharetoa Korowai Āwhina o ngā Marae o Ngāti Tūwharetoa (Korowai Āwhina) was formed by marae representatives in March 1998. Te Kanawa Pitiroi, Timoti te Heuheu and Te Whakapumautanga Downs were the founding trustees of Korowai Āwhina and shaped the forum to meet the needs of our ringa raupa and specifically for whānau who managed the day to day affairs of our marae. The objective of Korowai Āwhina is to bring together a collective of marae with the long-term vision of improving the wellbeing and operations of Tūwharetoa marae and to share information. Hui are held bi-monthly and are well attended by marae whānau, committee members and trustees. For the past 18 years the Lake Taupō Charitable Trust (the charitable arm of the Lake Taupō Forest Trust) funded both the administration and the functions of Korowai Āwhina. Due to a shift in focus, in October 2015, the Lake Taupō Charitable Trust approached the Trust Board to gauge interest in whether the Trust Board could provide support and resources for the ongoing management of Korowai Āwhina. At the forum’s final hui for 2015 a focussed discussion was held on the proposed structure change. The outcome of that discussion was that it was acknowledged that the Trust Board was in a sound position to support the ongoing management of the forum going forward. The Lake Taupō Charitable Trust with the support of marae representatives agreed to transition the forum over to the Trust Board with the final transition occurring in June 2016.

kaumätua ball In recognition of our kaumātua who uphold the tikanga and kawa of our marae, the Trust Board, for the second year, held the annual Kaumātua Ball on 25 June 2016 at the Great Lake Centre, Taupō. The event catered for 26 Ngāti Tūwharetoa marae and 300 of our kaumātua who travelled from as near as Taupō and Tūrangi and as far as Taumarunui and Te Haroto. This year’s theme was a Matariki - Winter Wonderland and included a winter sleigh and snowflake cookies. The evening consisted of kai, kōrero and kanikani with performances from Sons of Soul and Marilyn Kingi and Friends. Kaumātua danced long into the night and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. We would like to thank the Tūwharetoa Settlement Trust for providing our kaumātua ‘winter scarves’ and Ngāti Tūwharetoa Fisheries and Taupō-Nui-a-Tia College for their support on the evening.

taiopenga o tüwharetoa Taiopenga provides an opportunity for our tamariki, taiohi, pākeke and kaumātua to strengthen our connections as whānau, celebrate the vitality of Ngāti Tūwharetoa and to continue to revitalise and retain our reo, tikanga, and history through kapa haka. Taiopenga is a testament to the value our whānau, teachers, schools and pre-schools place on our identity as Tūwharetoa. The Trust Board is very pleased to provide ongoing support for this kaupapa. Kia koutou katoa, kei te mihi! Over three days in September 2015, 60 groups, 3000 performers, and 3000 spectators assembled for one of the largest annual events on the Ngāti Tūwharetoa calendar. The festival continues to flourish with the number of performers and spectators growing. The advent of online streaming has also captured an audience from around the motu and from overseas.

The happy sound of laughter, the harmonious chorus from waiata, the booming cry of haka, and the resounding cheers of whānau. This is Te Taiopenga o Tūwharetoa.

marae sports 2016 The wind blustered, the rain fell, but the inclement weather couldn’t dampen the excitement of our whānau as another Tūwharetoa Marae Sports Challenge took place. 20 marae took to the fields, courts, tables and stage to contest for the top trophy and bragging rights as the supreme winner of this year’s Sports Challenge. More than 6,000 people attended what has become the largest Tūwharetoa event on our annual calendar. The two days of activities provided whānau with the opportunity to showcase their sporting prowess, strategic expertise, vocal range and iwi knowledge. Once again, defending champions Korohe Marae proved their ‘strength-in-numbers’ strategy a winner, coming in as the overall victor with 3,016 points. In second place was Tutetawhā with 2,537 points, and in third place, Pākira with 2,383 points.

ngäti tüwharetoa paramountcy The Trust Board is pleased to be in a financial position to provide continued support to the Ko Tūwharetoa te Iwi Charitable Trust and the work done by the Ariki, Sir Tumu te Heuheu in support of the aspirations of Ngāti Tūwharetoa, which included:

• Tūwharetoa Cultural Knowledge • Supporting Early Learning • Strengthening Whānau participation in Education

matua tu taua The purpose of Matua Tu Taua is to assist and protect Te Arikitanga and the Trust Board has been supporting this institution for many decades. The Matua hold one-day intensive training, kura wānanga, and an annual week-long wānanga to maintain the practice of Tūwharetoa kawa and tikanga. In 2015 the Matua held their annual wānanga at Hahuru Marae in Kawerau with tutors and tauira coming from all Tūwharetoa hapū. Tauira are aged from 6 to 60 years of age with an even mix of old and new. Many of the tauira attend every year and wānanga have become increasingly intensive, with tauira constantly learning new kōrero and content. This has created a wealth of knowledge and ensures the continuation of Matua Tu Taua in the many years to come.

whänau haerenga ra hï ika To support the goal of normalising Te Reo Māori within Tūwharetoa, the Trust Board is actively looking to support fun initiatives that encourage whanaungatanga in a full immersion Māori language setting. To this end, the Whānau Haerenga - Rā Hī Ika was delivered in June 2016. The purpose of the event was to increase whānau language networks within Ngāti Tūwharetoa and normalise māori language use within our community. Rā Hī Ika was held at the Tongariro National Trout Centre in Tūrangi where over 70 children and adults participated in fishing for the ‘big one’.

puna rauemi Puna Rauemi language resources were developed in June 2015 to support intergenerational transmission, critical awareness and whānau language use in the homes. The resources were made with Tūwharetoa reo content to increase our reo ōkawa. The resources consisted of flash cards, reusable labels, magnets and phrase sheets. The resources were distributed at our Whānau Haerenga, at Taiopenga 2016, and to Kōhanga Reo and Kura within Ngāti Tūwharetoa.

tüwharetoa fm Tūwharetoa FM, a subsidiary of the Trust Board has been broadcasting for 25 years in the rohe. Contracted by Te Māngai Pāho, the role of Tūwharetoa FM is to promote the normalisation of Te Reo Māori me ōna tikanga in Ngāti Tūwharetoa.

During the year, a major upgrade and investment of on-air systems took place which enabled the station to further develop an authentic Tūwharetoa sound. It has seen a change to the on-air landscape with the creation of new, Tūwharetoa specific show names including:

During the reporting year, the station reviewed its functions and realigned its operations to a fit for purpose structure to meet the future direction of the station. This has proved to be both reinvigorating and rejuvenating for staff and management.

The station now has six amazing staff and personnel on hand to drive what it means to be Tūwharetoa and to embrace and embody our tikanga, which the station capures with the following kōrero, “To remain an authentic representation of Tūwharetoa, to adhere to tika and pono, to continually engage with the community and to be a pillar in the consistent promotion of the Māori Language”.

• Rā te haeata (6am to 10am); • Te Koimutuhanga (11am to 2pm); • Te Kōpua Kānapanapa (2pm to 6pm); and • A bilingual, business friendly format from 6am to 6pm.

Tūwharetoa FM have also rebranded as a station not only in sound but also in brand with the launch of the stations new logo. It signifies our tipuna maunga with the koru designs representing airwaves broadcasting to the motu. The new logo, coupled with the stations new found enthusiasm will help move toward positive change and growth in the community four our Iwi driven Māori Radio Station.

The establishment of a new dedicated Te Reo Māori advisory role has also proven to be a positive step, with the role focussing solely on the development of Te Reo Māori initiatives as well as providing staff with personalised reo māori enhancement opportunities.

NGATI TUWHARETOA ARE PROSPEROUS & INNOVATIVE education grants The Trust Board remains committed to supporting the learning and educational achievements of our people. We value education as a critical tool in the sound development of our future generations and our tribal development as a whole. Our Education Grants and Scholarships provide support to our whānau to unlock their individual potential and grow the leaders of tomorrow. During the reporting year, a total investment of $448,400 was distributed as education grants to 1,121 whānau. The Trust Board and Ngāti Tūwharetoa Fisheries Charitable Trust have, for the fourth year running, collaborated to co-fund the Education Grants initiative.

support the educational pursuits of Ngāti Tūwharetoa. Education grants open in February and close in May of every year.

special needs grants This year 27 Special Needs Grants were provided to whānau. This grant is designed to support whānau with disabilities who require additional support in education.

education scholarships In an effort to promote education excellence during 2015/16, thirteen of our academic scholars were awarded $19,500 in scholarship grants. Each recipient received a $1,500 scholarship award to support their studies.

wepua tüwharetoa This year, the Trust Board partnered with the Ko Tūwharetoa te Iwi Charitable Trust, to support an exciting new initiative, Wepua Tūwharetoa. Wepua Tūwharetoa is aimed at raising the achievement of tamariki and rangatahi Māori (early learning, primary and secondary school learners) in our rohe, by working with and supporting whānau. This project has worked with whānau to provide skills and confidence and provide learning support to support educational achievement for learners. One outcome has been the development of whānau and individual education plans help whānau to understand and engage in the education of their tamariki so that they can better support them in meaningful and practical ways.

30 I am not sure what area of Medicine I will get into just yet, I plan on using my time as a junior doctor to figure out what I want to be. However, what I do know is that my passion lies with helping our Māori and Pacific communities and bridging the gap between our nation’s health disparities has been, and will continue to be a lifelong dream of mine. We need more brown faces working in hospitals so if you, or any of your whānau have an inkling toward getting into the health profession then back yourself and do it! I’m more than happy to help out and feel free to get in touch if you need advice, motivation or questions answered.

During my time in and out of the hospital, I’ve come across and treated a handful of people who whakapapa to Ngāti Tūwharetoa. The feeling of helping your own is incredibly uplifting and the moment of realizing you both are from the same iwi to me was very memorable and emotional.

Te Reo Māori is the one thing that sets us apart as indigenous people from any other peoples throughout the world, it is the lens in which we are able to look back and understand what, how and why our ancestors did what they did and how they viewed the world. If we lose this important taonga we will lose a huge part of our identity as Māori and as Tūwharetoa.

I am in my final month of Medical School and I start work at Auckland City Hospital as a junior doctor in November. For the past three years I have been based at Wellington hospital for the clinical years of my degree and I will be a graduate from Otago Medical School in December this year. Being a doctor is something I have dreamt of since I was 13 years old. I was inspired by the doctors and surgeons who I dealt with when I sustained a knee injury while playing netball. I always enjoyed science and I loved sport so being a Sports Doctor was something I had my mind set on. At school, I was always busy with sports and I was a never an ‘NCEA excellence’ student, but I was determined to make Medical School despite some teachers doubting me. In 2011, I put a hold on my netball career, gave up my social life and knuckled down with my mahi. By the end of that year I was accepted into all five health sciences programmes – Medicine, Dentistry, Physiotherapy, Med Lab Sciences and Radiography. In December, I will graduate alongside 40 other Māori students and walk proudly across the stage as part of the largest group of Māori doctors to ever go through Medical School.

My PhD research “Te Pā Tūwatawata: Te Reo i te Kāinga” focuses on one way that we can return our language to the most important place that it could ever be which is the kāinga or home as an everyday language. Tamaiti ākona i te kāinga, tū ana ki te marae, tau ana! A child taught at home stands confident on the marae.

kerrian duff - ngäti hikairo, ngäti kurauia, ngäti turangitukua, ngäti turumakina It is of the utmost importance that our Tūwharetoa people have access to the best educational opportunities available. This is basic

31 and fundamental to the success of our Iwi. We must also acknowledge the value of Tūwharetoatanga to our people and the vital role this plays in strengthening our future leaders within our rohe and globally. Although I have been involved in education for 35 years, it has been at a very low key level mainly on a volunteer basis and focused around whānau. Our children are now adults blessing us with mokopuna. This allows me the time to formalise my role as a teacher through Waikato University and the opportunity to gain the skills, knowledge and ‘tricks of the trade’ to equip our children with the tools to succeed in the tauiwi world and Mātauranga o Tūwharetoa. I have spent 40 years here at home, so I know what it means to be Tūwharetoa, but do not hold the Mātauranga o Tūwharetoa, but have the connections to whānau who can share this knowledge appropriately. I once sat in a hui at Waihi and heard a koroua, speak about his lonely experience over a lifetime practising his profession around the world. He spoke of the emptiness he felt without the Mātauranga o Tūwharetoa. We cannot allow this to happen to our people ever again.

lynette walmsley - ngäti tutetawhä, ngäti tutemohuta I am a proud grandmother of five mokopuna who make my eyes twinkle, my heart sing and my puku smile. Our grandchildren and whānau whānui are my motivation and inspiration to contribute to a positive future for our whānau, hapū, iwi and all peoples of Aotearoa. I am currently completing ‘He Waka Hiringa’ a two-year applied Masters of Indigenous Knowledge with Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. Although the prompt for my project was to explore options for natural burial which will enhance the mana and mauri of both whānau and the whenua, other priorities have emerged organically. These include researching and collating information around our whakapapa, mana whenua and most importantly an opportunity to research our Kuia, Rakera Ihaia (Tuhourangi-Ngāti Wahiao). Tēnei te mihi kau atu ki te Tūwharetoa Trust Board mo te tautoko me te manaaki hoki. Ma te Atua tātou e manaaki, e tiaki hoki.

I share my vision with the people of Ngāti Tūwharetoa. That vision is to lead our schools to a place where our children will learn and thrive in two worlds to ensure the survivability of Ngāti Tūwharetoa and its continuum. In 5 years’ time I hope to be sharing this same vision with the staff and management of Te Kura o Tūwharetoa.

for daycare which has allowed my wife to continue her education, for which we are truly thankful. It has also given me the opportunity to focus on my studies knowing that my wife and children will have food and a roof over their heads. Thank you very much! The title of my project is - The development of a neural interface for brain assisted appendage control. My field of interest is most succinctly defined as mechatronic assistive technologies for rehabilitation. The field can be more broadly defined as belonging to the larger fields of prosthetics, robotics, neurology, and assistive technologies. The research has the potential to grow and act as the base for brain-controlled prosthetics at the University of Waikato. Between March 2014 and April 2015, I successfully designed and developed a brain-controlled prosthetic hand for my postgraduate study. The project enthused many, including the University’s public relations office; since starting, I have been involved in student recruitment, publicity, and University marketing. Reports on my research have been included on stuff.co.nz, Radio New Zealand, and national newspapers. In a voluntary capacity, I have gone out of my way to share my research with youth groups and the community. I feel this area of research is worth sharing and spreading. After successfully completing the initial project, I realized the potential impact of my studies. This research will not only aid the rehabilitation of amputees but will change the lives of people suffering from neuromuscular disorders, Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injuries, and stroke. I am very highly motivated, as I now build on my earlier research. I consider this to be an extremely worthwhile project.

mahonri owen - ngäti hikairo I feel very humbled to have been offered the scholarship which is a huge blessing and benefit to me and my young whānau. I am in my first year of my doctoral studies and have been learning so much! The funding has given us the opportunity to pay

32 particularly the risk factors towards mortality outcomes. This thesis is near completion and will be submitted within the coming weeks. Again, I would like to extend my gratitude to the Trust Board for the scholarship which has contributed towards the fees of my studies. Nā tōu rourou, nā tōkū rourou, ka ora ai te iwi Māori, puta noa, puta noa.

My area of study is the space of Te Taha Wairua as a contribution to Mental Wellness. I am researching tools and processes to create ease in this space for those who suffer from mental illness and to create a toolkit for whānau to use for themselves and their whānau. This year my study has focussed on a draft literature review identifying gaps within this space and the methodologies. Thank again for the contribution towards my studies of which I will acknowledge in my thesis.

I commenced post graduate studies in 2010 at the Auckland University of Technology (AUT) whilst working as a Diabetes Podiatrist in Northland for a Māori health provider. I was motivated to begin this journey as I was interested to know whether podiatry services were making a difference to reducing diabetes related lower limb amputations. There is very little research in this field in New Zealand and more so with regards to the impact of amputations for Māori. At the end of 2010 I was employed by the Northland District Health Board working in the hospitals throughout Northland providing secondary level health care preventing diabetes related amputations. Throughout this period I attained a post graduate certificate and diploma in Health Science in the Māori health pathway as a part time student. In 2014 I commenced a Master’s research thesis examining the impact of diabetes related lower extremity amputations for Māori from 1988 to 2015,

NGATI TUWHARETOA ARE STEWARDS & USERS OF OUR NATURAL RESOURCES

taupö moana - ecological health The water quality of Lake Taupō is regularly monitored to gather information on water clarity, algae growth levels and nutrient levels. The data gathered is combined to calculate a Trophic Level Index (TLI) score which provides an indication of the water quality, ecological health and the life supporting capacity of a lake. A TLI score of 1-2 indicates very good water quality, a score of 2-3 is good water quality, a score of 3-4 is average, 4-5 is poor and above 5 is very poor water quality. Figure 1 shows that the water quality of the Moana over the last 10 years has generally been good (below level 3) and twice scored very good water quality (below level 2). To provide a comparison, lakes in the north-east of the Waiariki region have a range of TLI scores from poor for Lake Rotorua, good for Lake Tarawera and average for Lake Rerewhakaaitu. Scientists

tell us that Taupō’s TLI score may get worse over the coming years as the nitrogen from the land in the catchment moves through the soil and underground until it gets into the lake water. The Trust Board continues to work with the Waikato Regional Council, NIWA scientists and others to ensure that good data is being collected about our taonga.

taupö moana - swimmability Over the 2015-2016 summer period, twelve bathing beaches around Lake Taupō were regularly monitored to check their suitability for ‘contact recreation’ activities which includes swimming. The water at these beaches was measured for bacteria levels (paru) and water clarity (how far through the water can you see). As with previous year’s sampling, the water quality at these beaches are at least satisfactory most of the time and often excellent.

lake taupö protection project Over the last decade the Trust Board has been working on the Lake Taupō Protection Project with local Councils and the Crown to reduce the amount of manageable nitrogen entering Lake Taupō. The goal was to remove 20% of the manageable nitrogen (or 170.3 tonnes annually) from entering the Lake by the year 2018. Part of the project involved setting up the Lake Taupō Protection Trust who administered a $81.5 million fund and agreements to remove nitrogen from the catchment. In July 2015, the Protection Trust signed its last agreement with landowners - Hautu-Rangipo Whenua Limited, to realise the target of removing 170.3 tonnes of nitrogen being removed annually from the catchment. It was very fitting that this momentous achievement was reached by a Ngāti Tūwharetoa collective given the tribes leadership and guidance throughout this project. The project continues and will move into a monitoring phase to ensure that all agreements with landowners are monitored to ensure that the nitrogen is kept out of our lake.

new zealand riverprize award The Lake Taupō Protection Project was nominated for the inaugural Morgan Foundation New Zealand Riverprize Award, and we were one of four finalists for the award alongside three other exemplary projects. The Riverprize is all about acknowledging important projects that have had significant outcomes in river and basin management. In September 2015, Sir Tumu te Heuheu, Dominic Otimi, Judy Harris and Maria Nepia and CEO Topia Rameka travelled to Brisbane to participate in the awards evening. The Lake Taupō Protection Project was highly commended and came runner-up to a Murray Basin

project. Being a finalist in this prestigious award shows how significant this project is not only in New Zealand but that it is world-leading internationally. The project to protect our taonga would not have succeeded without the involvement and support of the Tūwharetoa Economic Authorities in the Taupō catchment.

taupö moana weed management Following last year’s mahi to study and understand the aquatic weed problem, which weed species were causing issues and what options could be considered for management, the Trust Board has continued to work with our marae to develop weed management plans. The key areas for management consideration are Motutere Bay, Motuoapa Bay, Te Iringa Pouaka (Stump Bay) and Te Huri Taniwha (Waihi and Tokaanu bays). During the past year, the second phase of this project has involved hui to report back to marae on the findings from the study and to enable marae representatives to decide the most effective options for sustainable weed control. The Trust Board has engaged specialists to assist whānau to understand and decide what type of weed management hapū want to see occur in their takiwa. The aim is to implement weed management plans that will reduce the negative aspects associated with their presence and enable hapū to more appropriately utilise and enjoy the lake in accordance with their requirements and customary practices.

37 healthy rivers plan change

waikato river marae working group

The Healthy Rivers Plan Change is a project that has been underway for over two years. It is led by the Waikato Regional Council (WRC) who are putting together policy and rules to manage the impacts of land use on the Waikato River. The Plan Change aims to ensure that the Waikato River is swimmable and fishable over the whole length within the next 80 years. The Plan Change will also give effect to Te Ture Whaimana o Te Awa o Waikato (the Vision and Strategy for the Waikato and Waipa rivers) which was adopted by the Crown as part of Treaty settlement legislation in 2010.

As we worked through the Healthy Rivers Plan Change process with our Marae Working Group, it became obvious that there are a lot of things that we could all be doing to help restore and protect our awa and its tributaries.

This Plan Change is the first big plan that has happened since the Co-Governance Acts were passed in 2010. Throughout this year the Trust Board has been working closely with our Waikato River Marae Working Group, Hapū and Tūwharetoa Economic Authorities Working Group to obtain feedback and perspectives on the evolving work associated with the Plan Change. These groups provided vital feedback for the Trust Board to take into discussions with WRC and our whanaunga iwi. The Plan Change is due to be notified by WRC in October 2016 and the Trust Board will continue to engage with our working groups, marae and landowners into the next phase of the project which involves submissions on the draft Plan Change.

As a result of discussions, the Marae Working Group and the Trust Board have developed the Waikato River Action Plan which provides a platform for getting action and projects on the ground happening. The Trust Board is committed to seeing action and supporting our whānau, hapū and marae to undertake projects. This is an exciting space to be in and over the next 6 months we will continue to work with our Marae Working Group to finalise this Action Plan and set up the next steps to keep momentum going and get projects underway.

environmental advocacy and support The Natural Resources team at the Trust Board has been busy engaging with hapū, marae and Tūwharetoa Economic Authorities on the various proposed policy and legislation changes happening at the local, regional and national level. Protecting and advocating for our taonga, rohe and Ngāti Tūwharetoa’s rights and interests within the environmental management framework is critical. Throughout the last year some of the pieces of work our team either led or has been involved in include: • Submission on Government’s Next Step for Freshwater with Tūwharetoa entities and Economic Authorities. • Submission on Te Ture Whenua Māori Bill with Tūwharetoa entities and Economic Authorities – jointly representing 200,000 hectares and 48,400 beneficial owners. • Whakaipō Bay Management Plan development with DOC and other partners. • Engaging with Wairakei and Nukuhau Hapū on applications within the Wairakei Tourist Park. • Submission on resource consent applications for the Rotokawa Geothermal Steamfield, supporting our Tauhara Hapū and the Tūwharetoa Hapū Forum. • Engaging on biodiversity and biosecurity issues. • Supporting Greening Taupō and Kids Greening Taupō.

freshwater reform and iwi/hapü consultation Significant Government reform of fresh water management has been underway since 2009. The Land and Water Forum (LAWF) represents over 60 diverse interest groups including iwi. It has been influential in shaping freshwater reforms. Since 2011, Government’s key reforms comprise the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management (NPS-FM) and the 2014 National Objectives Framework (NOF). Both aim to improve freshwater management, maximize economic opportunities and protect the environment. NPS-FM includes tangata whenua values and interests and will impact on decision- making at the catchment level.

38 The platform for Government and Iwi engagement on freshwater reform occurs primarily through the Freshwater Iwi Leaders Group (ILG). Formed in 2007, the ILG is mandated by the Iwi Chairs Forum (ICF) to engage directly with senior government Ministers on freshwater reforms. ILG comprises the leaders of Ngāi Tahu, Whanganui, Waikato-Tainui, Te Arawa, Raukawa, Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngāti Kuri and Ngāti Tūwharetoa and reports regularly to iwi through the ICF. The ILG’s technical team, the Iwi Advisors Group (IAG), engages directly with Crown officials. Sir Tumu te Heuheu is the Chairman of the ILG. Five key principles titled “Ngā Mātāpono” guide ILG engagement with the Crown. These are:

• Ko te Tiriti o Waitangi te tāhuhu o te kaupapa o te wai • Te Mana o Te Wai • Te mana motuhake o ia wai o ia iwi ki te iwi • Te kaitiakitanga o ngā hapū me ngā iwi i te wai • Te mana whakahaere o ngā iwi me ngā hapū ki te wai

iwi and hapü rights in freshwater management This is a critical issue for Iwi and Hapū but New Zealand legislation is silent on who has ownership of freshwater. The Crown has proclaimed that no-one owns freshwater (including the Crown). The Waitangi Tribunal has confirmed that iwi and hapū have proprietary rights and interests in freshwater resources and the Crown acknowledges that such rights exist and will need to be recognised in appropriate ways. This issue needs to be resolved in context of water allocation systems for all users, including iwi and hapū. The ILG and IAG position is that the Crown has needs

Pictured Takarei & Tiori Gallagher

to acknowledge the full range of iwi rights and interests in freshwater, especially those related to allocation and discharge rights. Iwi have emphasized the need for additional resourcing to ensure that adequate expertise and advice is available to assist iwi and hapū appropriately respond to this important kaupapa.

marae fishing licences and boat ramp permits The Trust Board allocates 260 annual fishing licences to marae to fish for Hui & Kaumātua, 160 boat ramps permits are also distributed to marae. Our marae take full advantage of our fishing licences, however, the subscription of boat ramp permits remains low. So whānau, please contact your marae committee if you require a Lake Taupō Boat Ramp Permit.

tamariki hï ika The Tamariki Hī Ika initiative commenced in 2014 and is aimed at encouraging our tamariki into fishing and mahinga kai on Taupō Moana and in our many awa. As part of the kaupapa, the Trust Board provides free seasonal fishing licences to our tamariki and subsidise the cost of tamariki fly rod sets at the Taupō Hunting & Fishing store. These sets retail for $150 but with the subsidy whānau are able to purchase the set for $45. The initiative has been well received and continues to grow in popularity with the issuing of tamariki licences increasing each year. Nearly 600 tamariki have taken up the opportunity and have gone out on their awa and moana to catch the big one!

39 2015 inaugural ngäti tüwharetoa fishing competition The 2015 Tūwharetoa Fishing Competition was held from Friday 3rd July to Sunday 5 July 2015. The weekend brought whānau together from Ngāti Tūwharetoa to participate in a fishing competition designed to cater for whānau and hapū residing in the Tūwharetoa rohe. This experience was the first of its kind to be held in our rohe. The kaupapa was designed to ensure that the values of our lwi, hapū and whānau are upheld whilst enjoying friendly, but fierce, competition through fishing in our rivers and lakes. The benefits from the competition were:

• Mahinga kai learning • Mātua – Tamaiti bonding • Tūwharetoa whanaungatanga, kotahitanga, kaitiakitanga, ukaipotanga, manaakitanga.

NGATI TUWHARETOA ARE SAFE & WELL kaumätua grants

te kooti rangatahi

To enhance the quality of life and well-being of Kaumātua, we continue to provide kaumātua medical grants for our pākeke. These grants are available to Kaumātua 60 years of age and over.

A new rangatahi court, Te Kooti Rangatahi ki Tūwharetoa, was launched earlier this year at Waipahīhī Marae. It follows the successful establishment of similar marae-based youth courts around the country. The Rangatahi Courts are a judicial initiative that work within the Youth Court framework but use a marae-based and Māori-specific environment to help young Māori and their whānau engage with the justice system.

A total of 266 applications were approved during the 2015/16 financial year, with $155,000 invested to support Kaumātua wellbeing. This is a significant increase from the previous year where 178 applications were processed. Figure 3. Kaumātua Grants 2015-2016 expenditure by category 2% Travel

elite waka ama racing Members of the J19 Elite Waka Ama Junior team were selected from across Aotearoa. The team consisted of seven Paddlers, two based in Auckland, two in Whakatane, one in Rotorua, one in Whanganui and one from Hamilton. The highlights for the team were representing Aotearoa and bringing home two Silver Medals and two Bronze Medals.

Many individuals’ whānau, marae and hapū have benefitted from the support enabling them to facilitate a range of wānanga, sporting, educational and cultural pursuits and organise major iwi and community events. A total of 128 applications were approved by the funding committee in 2015/16. A list of those successful individuals and groups are outlined in appendix one (2015/16 Grant Recipients). Below is a snapshot of some our Tūwharetoa talent and success.

tüwharetoa ki parïhi (brazil) In October 2015 seven Ngāti Tūwharetoa representatives competed at the World Indigenous Games held in Palmas, Brazil. The World Indigenous Games is a multisport event with more than 2,000 participating indigenous athletes from 30 countries, including First Nation representatives from Canada, the United States, Mexico, Russia, Argentina and Australia. The event was an opportunity for our whānau to share our cultural experiences as indigenous people, showcase traditional sports, and compete in indigenous sports from around the world. The New Zealand Women’s Cabo de Forca (Tug of War) team were very successful with two of our Tūwharetoa woman, Jonnine Lai and Tirakahurangi Wineera, part of the winning team who won Gold.

Elliot Paerata Reid has represented Aotearoa five times and competed in the World Junior Surf Championship in Ecuador, Peru and Costa Rica. Not only is Elliot an Aotearoa surfing sensation but he is now an Australasian surfing champion. In one of the toughest junior surfing series in the world, the WSL Australasian Pro Out, Elliot finished seventh out of hundreds of competitors from Australia, Tahiti and Hawaii. He is the first New Zealander in two decades to make the top ten in this field.

In July of this year, the Ngāti Tūwharetoa Trust Board supported Te Puawai in attending a truly invaluable journey to Uganda as part of her tenure as a Youth Ambassador for the Global Volunteer Network.

Elliot is now competing in the Open Men’s section of the World Surfing League qualifying series. This is his first year on the circuit and he plans to make the top 25. This competition has seen him compete against the very best in the world in Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Australia and Hawaii.

The experience exceeded all of my expectations; I saw a completely different part of the world, met some of the most hard working and inspiring people I have ever met and in doing so, I learnt more about what it means to be a leader. My newfound experiences inspired me to push through the school year where I have graduated with two scholarships to the University of Canterbury where I will study Law and Arts in 2017. I would like to sincerely thank the Ngāti Tūwharetoa Trust Board for supporting me in my journey and I hope to apply my learnings from the trip to benefit my own communities. E kore e ārikarika ngā mihi!”

NGATI TUWHARETOA ARE ACTIVE LOCAL & GLOBAL CITIZENS The Trust Board recognises that we have a leadership role to play in the community and this remains a key focus of our mahi. During the reporting year, we continued to identify and support a number of positive initiatives within our rohe. The following are some of the events and initiatives we sponsored for the year.

türangi christmas in the park The Tūrangi 50th Jubilee Christmas in the Park concert attracted more than 5,500 people - double the town’s population. It was a festival of colour, sounds and entertainment. The community was treated to a movie in the park, amusement rides, games and stalls. The colourful Santa Parade set the scene for a spectacular show, with live performances from local artists and the soulful voice of singer Stan Walker. The grand finale laser light show and firework display brought the event to a spectacular close. The town’s Christmas in the Park concert, beat all others and won the best community event at the New Zealand Association of Event Professionals which was held in Auckland in September 2016. Too much Tūrangi!

Sweet Soundz had national musicians and artists converge on the Tokaanu Tailrace in March 2016 to entertain whānau with their sweet sounding vocals. The music festival, hosted by Ngāti Turangitukua, featured performances from some of Aotearoa’s finest talent including Troy Kingi, Bella Kalolo, Pieter T, and AWA. Food stalls, children’s activities, arts and crafts exhibitions and waka ama provided fun for all the whānau throughout the day. Ka mau te wehi Turangitukua!

The Tūrangi Junior Triathlon, organised by the Tūrangi Tongariro Sports Foundation, is a great opportunity for 5–17 year olds to have fun and race against each other as individuals and teams. This year saw another great turn out with many braving the rain, wind and mud to compete.

waitangi celebrations The Waitangi Day festival was back in Taupō at the Tongariro Domain in 2016 with the beautiful music of contemporary Māori artists Maisey Rika and Rob Ruha. The pair were supported by an impressive line-up of local artists including Sons of Soul, Aaron Moeke, Daniel Trueman,Michaela Pointon and Tegan McConchie. The day also featured kappa haka, cultural groups, children’s inflatables, food stalls, competitions, and arts and crafts.

COMMERCIAL

This section reports on commercial development activities targeted at growing our economic potential.

TAUPO WATERS TRUST The Taupō Waters Trust (TWT) is the structure that holds the Taupō Waters properties on behalf of Ngāti Tūwharetoa. The Trustee of the TWT is the Tūwharetoa Māori Trust Board. The TWT is a special purpose vehicle that advances ownership rights and responsibilities and realises opportunities for the Taupō Waters properties.

commercial operator licencing

lake taupö water storage

The Trust Board is currently heavily invested in the licencing of commercial vessels operating on Lake Taupō.

The commercial water storage arrangement that was negotiated in 2014 with Mighty River Power (now Mercury) has been progressing positively.

At present we are currently in negotiation with a large grouping of 30 operators in relation to a licence to operate and associated terms and conditions. As you can imagine, moving from an unregulated system to a regulated one can be challenging. As such the approach so far can be best described as cautious, fair yet firm.

December 2016 will be the second anniversary of the agreement and will also coincide with the first year pricing review.

Whilst at the time of writing, negotiations have not yet been completed it is hoped that these will be completed prior to Christmas 2016. We are expecting some challenge on the legal rights of the Trust Board and we are fully prepared for that situation should it arise.

Due to the relatively flat wholesale electricity prices and low inflows to the lake, we are forecasting a slight downturn in payments for 2016-17.

events The Licencing of events has been very active over the past year with a large number of filming and event licences being processed. This is a reflection of the spike in tourism numbers over the past year also. There is a steady increase in event activity with over 20 applications being received already for the coming summer period.

TAUPO MOANA GROUP HOLDINGS The primary purpose of the Taupō Moana Holdings (TMGH) is “To commercialise the competitive advantages of the Trust and build long term wealth and revenue streams” and “To leverage employment and social outcomes from commercial activity where practicable” TMGH is chaired by Tiwana Tibble accompanied by directors Shelley Katae and Hayden Porter. The TMGH is primarily focussed on commercial tourism opportunities and investment within the rohe of Ngāti Tūwharetoa. To be specific, TMGH goals are to identify opportunities that maximise our competitive advantages, have a defendable market position, is unique, provides growth, aligned with cultural and environmental objectives and provides employment opportunities for Tūwharetoa descendants. Ultimately the opportunity must provide acceptable commercial returns. The Long Term outcome sought by TMGH is the establishment of a broad commercial portfolio of businesses which maximise the strategic advantages of the Trust Board and existing tourism businesses to diversify risk and build long term wealth for Ngāti Tūwharetoa. Currently the TMGHL is evaluating a number of opportunities that are still in the concept stage and exploring partnerships with existing quality operations.

Tiwana Tibble (Chairman) From 1998 to late 2012, Tiwana was Chief Executive of Ngāti Whatua o Orakei Māori Trust Board. During his time on the Trust Board, he built significant social, cultural and commercial property investments – with assets increasing tenfold to be worth in excess of $500 millon.

Shelley Katae Shelley is the General Manager – Strategy and Operations for the Tamaki Redevelopment Company She has held a number of general management and operations roles in tourism-focused businesses across New Zealand, Australia and Fiji.

Hayden Porter Hayden is the General Manager of the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron. He has held a number of general management and operations roles in tourism and hotel-focused businesses in the Pacifica and New Zealand.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK The global economy continues to perform below average but is growing modestly with contribution from emerging markets (China and India, in particular). Structural impediments remains to curb consumption and investment growth necessary for a tangible uplift in the global economy. These impediments include excess borrowing by governments and households and excess capacity in manufacturing and commodities. These impediments have also contributed to low inflation globally which has enabled central banks to reduce interest rates in an effort to stimulate the economies. However, even negative interest rates have proven to be futile when companies are reluctant to invest when there is excess capacity and most borrowers are reducing their indebtedness. Low interest rates have benefitted borrowers and boosted investment assets but not the productive sector. The outlook remains more of the same unless politicians abandon debt reduction and use tax incentives and/or infrastructure spending in an effort to stimulate the economies. Increasingly, even central banks are calling on politicians for support in stimulating the economy. New Zealand has been a bright spot on the globe as its economy has been growing above historical average benefitting from construction (residential and commercial), tourism and some exports despite the weakness in the dairy sector. Migration gains have curtailed wage pressure but has contributed to house price inflation.

Our Reserve Bank has lowered the cash rate in an effort to lower the New Zealand dollar and thereby raise the price of imported goods and lift inflation towards its medium term target. In 2016, to date, this has largely been ineffective as the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;kiwiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dollar has risen against the United States dollar (adversely impacting rural exports) and fluctuated significantly against the Australian dollar (creating headaches for manufacturing exports). The outlook for the New Zealand economy remains favourable as migration gains continue, housing remain in short supply, commodity prices appears to have stabilised (although dairy may see further weakness given US production surge), tourism remains constrained only by its supporting infrastructure and we now have a budget surplus which offers opportunities for the government to spend or offer tax cuts. However, we are not immune from international developments and while the global economy is gradually improving, some debilitating political trends are emerging.

Investment assets have generally been in a consolidating phase in 2016 as investors gauge economic and political trends. Share markets have been flat, although New Zealand has been an outperformer given its favourable economy. Interest rates have largely declined and property values have risen as investors chase yields. The outlook for growth assets is again, more of the same with both shares and properties gaining from an improving global economy, albeit modest, and low interest rate environment. Central banks are likely to move away from their current accommodative stance and move gradually to a neutral position. Short term interest rates should increase but again modestly. Politics, however, could alter the scenario as the population demands a more nationalistic policies. Iwi Investor, October 2016
