January 10, 2024

Over the next 15 months Ngati Porou will have the opportunity to reflect upon Te Runanganui o Ngati Porou and the establishment phase of the post-settlement governance entity.

The purpose of the review is to provide the opportunity for Ngati Porou Iwi members and the organisation to con­sider what has worked well and what hasn’t, over the organisation’s first five years of operation. The intention of the review process is to seek the views and perspectives from a wide range of Ngati Porou stakeholders, and to use this in­formation to help improve the organisa­tion for the betterment of all Iwi mem­bers, and future generations.

The timing of the review originates from Te Runanganui o Ngati Porou’s Trust Deed which states that the Deed and its operation must be reviewed five years from the date of the election of the First Elected Representatives. The Elec­tion of the first Te Runanganui o Ngati Porou Elected Representatives was held over a 4 week period in September 2011.

The board of Te Runanganui o Ngati Porou have formed a sub-committee to work on a terms of reference and consul­tation plan for the review process. Once this is confirmed more information about how the review will be undertaken will be communicated over the next few months.
