We’re delighted to share that four locals officially moved into their new homes at the Te Rauā residential development in May with a further seven over June.

Te Rauā Whānau coming home For kaumātua Emily Hiko, moving into her new one-bedroom home at the Te Rauā residential development has been nothing short of life-changing.

Te Rauā is an affordable rental housing development in Wairoa.It is a vibrant and prosperous hapori (community) of proud healthy whānau - living and growing through culture and connection.

Bring your voice, your whānau, and your moemoeā for the future. Nau mai, Haere mai.

Tātau Tātau o Te Wairoa Trust is pleased to announce Whai Mātauranga is now live for applications for 2025.

Whānau at the heart of Wairoa: The impact of flood mitigation on our people

This is the first newsletter for the trust and forms part of a larger communications plan for the organisation. Much like our social media posts the newsletter is aimed at telling our whānau about what we’re up to. You may also notice a lot of newspaper and media articles about us which is also a part of our plan. These media articles are aimed at the wider public and promote what we are doing and how we can do more.

Work has continued on the establishment of the Taiao Operational Unit, being given the name by our Kaunihera Kaumatua, ‘Te Hā o Rangi, o Papa’.
