Ngāti Pāhauwera Development Trust | Preparing for the future

The Trustees have been working with the new CEO to plan how Ngāti Pāhauwera Development Trust best positions itself for the future and they have adopted his recommendation and agreed on a more fit for purpose management model.

The outcome of this will see Marie Moses adopt a more formal role for day to day management of all staff, retention of Karl Wixon in a reduced contracted capacity to complete some planning and reporting work whilst we consolidated our operation over the next 6 to 9 months to ensure we are well positioned for the future build of Ngāti Pāhauwera.

NGĀTI PĀHAUWERA DEVELOPMENT TRUST | Employment Opportunity – Driving Instructor/Mentor

I am sending this to all and sundry as Wairoa has been given MSD funding to get 50 clients through their restricted and full licences if we find someone who will be a mentor/driving instructor. This may lead to other employment opportunities if the right person wants to pick up this opportunity and go with it.

In order to secure this funding we need to let MSD know that we have the means to fulfill the contractual obligations by next week.

So, if any of you know someone who has a clean(ish) record and is capable of mentoring people in this community towards getting their licence, with a view to becoming a qualified driving instructor at no cost to them, please let me know. There is some paperwork involved in terms of creating a spreadsheet and submitting timesheets etc, but it is not onerous. The long term plan is for someone to fulfill this contract with a view to becoming a self employed, qualified driving instructor at the end of it.

We have a vehicle here for the contract, and there will be no outlay if someone says YES.

Please put on your thinking hats and holler back if you know of someone who would be keen on doing this.

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to call me…..

NGĀTI PĀHAUWERA DEVELOPMENT TRUST | Digitisation Training Update

The Ngāti Pāhauwera Development Trust has initiated a Digitisation Project to digitise photographs from the Iwi and preserve them for the future. Recently, four team members travelled to Wellington to train with some of the best the country has to offer at the National Library, Te Papa and Archives New Zealand. Training included a handling workshop, processes, equipment, research sessions and tours of relevant departments. As our kaumātua and kuia pass on, so too do their memories and recollections of who are in photographs. Time is of the essence to get as many photographs digitised and details recorded. We intend in the future to encompass other media into the project such as video, oral histories and research.

NGĀTI PĀHAUWERA DEVELOPMENT TRUST | HBRC – WATCH ON FOR ALGAL BLOOM

The current weather conditions, resulting in lower river flows and warmer water temperatures, increase the likelihood of algal blooms in Hawke’s Bay fresh waterways.

Hawke’s Bay Regional Council and Hawke’s Bay District Health Board remind people to take care around streams, rivers and lakes as algal blooms can be toxic to humans and dogs. HBRC staff have not observed any cyanobacteria mats yet this summer but are monitoring popular recreational sites on the Ngaruroro, Tutaekuri and Tukituki rivers each week. Anyone displaying signs of illness after being in a river bed should seek medical advice from a doctor immediately.  Similarly, dogs or other animals that get sick after being in a river should get prompt veterinary attention. The HBDHB Public Health Unit should be alerted in the event of health issues occurring after contact with river or lake water.

The On Call Health Protection Officer can be contacted on 06 834 1815.

NGĀTI PĀHAUWERA DEVELOPMENT TRUST | REGAIN PIHANUI  LAND OF ANCESTORS

Ngāti Pāhauwera Development Trust Chairperson Toro Waaka has confirmed the trust has been successful in its bid to purchase Pihanui Station. Tenders closed last Friday, with more than 10 bids received.

The purchase aligns with the cultural, social and economic goals of the trust, Mr Waaka said. “The station currently provides employment opportunities to Ngāti Pāhauwera members and as we grow our landholdings, so the employment opportunities will grow. “We intend to add to the resources and returns from the station to progress our long-term strategy of improving the wellbeing of the trust members,” Mr Waaka said.

Ngati Pahauwera Trustee Charlie Lambert said it was very exciting for Ngāti Pāhauwera to have more of their traditional land back. “The land at Pihanui Station is a part of who we are as a people and having it back should be something to celebrate. “Our ancestor Te Kahu o Te Rangi walked up these lands beside the Waiau River marking the Tawai trees with his toki — to let everyone know this was Pāhauwera land,” Mr Lambert said.

Ngāti Pāhauwera Commercial Development Trust chair Luis McDonnell said the purchase fell in line with the decision made by the trustees in 2012 to develop their farms into a viable agribusiness. He said it was a critical step in their production goal of 100,000 stock units by 2025. The farm is a sheep and beef enterprise but also has large tracts of manuka which will be utilised in the future. Mr McDonnell has just returned from a 14-day trip to a number of Asian countries as part of the Iwi Honey coalition.
