Aquisitions

    • There are seventeen 2-bedroom and seven 3-bedroom townhouses at 26 View Rd, Titahi Bay

    • In this market it’s difficult to estimate the final valuation of the -properties but an indication of value for the townhouses only (not including the whenua) is expected to be between $400,000-$550,000.

    • The townhouses are currently being refurbished and will be available for sale in late 2023

    • The site is steep with limited outdoor areas and car parking (there are internal garages) so will not suit everyone but the townhouses are being refurbished to a high standard and offer the opportunity to get into home ownership through a more affordable route

  • There may be many questions that coincide with this mahi, and how buying a whare may work. Follow the link below for some more information

  • In 2022, Ngāti Toa Rangatira and the Ministry of Education completed a deal that secured the Ngāti Toa Rangatira purchase and lease back of the land of 40 public schools across the Porirua and Wellington regions. Read the full story and list of schools here

Te Kete Hāpai

  • Te Kete Hāpai is underpinned by the principle of manaakitanga, restoring collectivism and reciprocity, strengthening whakapapa connections and relationships between iwi members, wherever they may live.

    Te Kete Hāpai will begin in 2022/23 and evolve over time to support and enhance the lives of Ngāti Toa whānau; and provide opportunities for whakawhanaungatanga and manaakitanga with other iwi members, wherever they may live

Ngāti Toa Leadership Hub

  • In 2022, Te Rūnanga o Toa Rangatira established the Ngāti Toa Leadership Hub to accelerate the Iwi leadership capacity and capability, based on Ngāti Toa values, ideology, and leadership knowledge.

    We want to see our people in Leadership roles across the board. Here within our own Iwi organizations, Public Sector, Private Sector, small or large businesses, and most importantly on our marae. Those currently in leadership, management and governance positions are acutely aware of the need to create a roadmap to identify, provide for, and train future leaders within the Iwi.

    The Leadership Hub was initiated by Dr Selwyn Katene, Ngāti Toa, Ngā Ruahine, Ngāti Tama and Ngāti Tuwharetoa and was instrumental in the establishment of the Hub.

Repairs and Maintenance

The property team has had a particular focus on achieving Healthy Homes compliance for all Te Rūnanga residential housing and upgrading various residential and commercial properties across our portfolio.

These include completion of the Healthy Home components of all 25 residential whare and undertaking fit-out upgrades to Takapūwāhia Medical Centre, 17 Prosser Street, Whitireia Rūnanga Administration wing, and completion of a full integral upgrade of Te Hiko Street flats.

This is to allow for some of our premises to be a better fit for the purpose of delivery of Rūnanga services.

Completing these projects has created an opportunity for Ngāti Toa whānau-owned businesses to undertake this work, and to support the Rūnanga to complete this work successfully.

The Rūnanga prioritizes procuring services and goods from Ngāti Toa businesses first and foremost. If you are a Ngāti Toa iwi member offering goods or services and would like to be added to the register - find out more here!
