Tātau Tātau o Te Wairoa Trust, Ngāti Pāhauwera Development Trust, Wairoa District Council and Hawke’s Bay Regional Council invite all landowners who are interested in horticulture to an information evening to hear about how we can support you in land use change.

PGF investment announced for Wairoa Horticulture Hub

 
E ngā ringa tōhau nui, e ngā ngākau whihita, tēnā tātau katoa.

Tātau Tātau o Te Wairoa have been successful in our application to the Provincial Growth Fund (PGF) to develop a Horticulture Hub for Te Wairoa. The $2.3 million investment from PGF comprises a grant of $875,000 and a loan of $1,456,350 to develop a trial orchard, engage landowners to diversify into horticulture and develop an integrated skills and training programme. This project signifies the first commercial venture in the rohe using the full range of our settlement assets to create jobs and businesses for our whānau.

Why horticulture? 

We rely heavily on farming with the meat works employing close to 60% of our communities. The current rate of afforestation presents a threat to the works and those jobs. Horticulture will provide another industry in the district and opportunities to increase the productivity of our whenua, returning greater economic benefits through higher yields, jobs and the creation of associated businesses. Our plan is to build a post-harvest facility in Wairoa from year 5 to year 10, creating 300 new jobs and contributing an extra $8.2 million every year to our local economy.



We see the environmental impacts of intensive horticulture, particularly water, in Heretaunga and Tūranga. We believe that if we take the lead on these developments here, we can ensure our values around environment, social wellbeing and culture flourish together.  

Our Wairoa Horticulture Hub is a collaboration between Ngāti Pāhauwera, Hawkes Bay Regional Council and Wairoa District Council.

Realising these opportunities is important, now more than ever, given the far-reaching impacts of COVID-19. You can read more about this project on pages 41 and 42 of our ‘Whakamanahia a Te Wairoa’ document, available on our website here.     What next?
– We are recruiting for a programme manager and whenua Māori connector to lead us. You can read the full job advertisement here.
– We are looking for landowners who are interested in converting to horticulture and will be holding our first information evening in November.
– We are working with fresh produce organisations to develop a range of commercial partners with the same vision and values.
– We are working with schools, training providers, employers and government to develop a workforce plan.

We will endeavour to keep you updated on developments and have engaged Korou Digital to help take us together on this journey.

Keep an eye out for further updates as we look to address homes and housing for whānau.

Nāreira, Mā te mahitahi ka eā. Mauri tū, mauri ora!

Wairoa socio-economic response to COVID-19, Whakamanahia a Te Wairoa: now available online

Tātau Tātau o Te Wairoa, Ngāti Pāhauwera Development Trust and Wairoa District Council have come together to develop a community-driven, aligned, focused, and coordinated socio-economic response to COVID-19, supporting the Wairoa region, its communities, and peoples.

This response focuses on immediate actions, employment, short and long-term projects, that address the current response and align with the aims of Wairoa.  

Whānau are encouraged to read the comprehensive ‘Whakamanahia a Te Wairoa’ document, now available on the Tātau Tātau o Te Wairoa website here.

This document is a foundation for presenting the proposed approach, communicating, and seeking support for funding for the recovery in Wairoa. In developing the approach and this document, the partners have made clear that there is a need to increase participation, transparency, efficiency and accountability through cooperation and collaboration.

Tātau Tātau o Te Wairoa looks forward to continuing to working collaboratively with its partners to drive the social, economic, environmental, and cultural wellbeing of Wairoa, its people and the Whānau, Hapū and Iwi of Te Rohe o Te Wairoa.

Introducing our Tātau Tātau Whānau Wellbeing Project via The Meke Meter!

Whānau, do you think about how you are tracking with your health and wellbeing on a day-to-day basis? Do you want to be part of contributing to a healthier future for the Whānau, Hapū and Iwi of te Rohe o Te Wairoa?

Introducing our Whānau Wellbeing Project – aimed at promoting good health and wellbeing amongst our people. It’s part of our long-term strategy to ensure our people are prosperous, vibrant, innovative, healthy and at the heart of decision-making for the future.

To take part, you’re invited to sign up to The Meke Meter, a free, interactive online platform that allows you to rate and record your wellbeing each day. You can then also identify areas that you may want to focus on. You can also choose to share your results with whānau and work on improving your wellbeing together.

Give it a go! The Meke Meter is fun to use together with your whānau, particularly while we are in Alert Level 4. We will also send more pānui over the next few weeks via email and social media to provide tips on using The Meke Meter.

What is The Meke Meter? 

The Meke Meter is a wellbeing monitoring tool based on Te Whare Tapa Whā, designed by Māori, for Māori. By simply rating 1-10 how you feel about mahi, school, finances, whānau, fitness, nutrition, motivation and self-esteem, you will better understand your holistic wellbeing. 

Studies have shown that using The Meke Meter helps you to better understand your personal wellbeing and take steps to improve this over time. Getting involved and using The Meke Meter encourages kōrero with whānau at home, creates greater understanding of, and manaakitanga for, each other’s situation, recognises common areas and helps generate ideas of how to improve our collective wellbeing.

The collective results will give us a better understanding of what support our people need so we can put things in place to enable better wellbeing. 

How does it work?

The Meke Meter consists of 15 questions that cover the areas of physical, social and mental wellbeing. Thinking about how you rate yourself in each of these areas, will help promote self-care and encourage you to be more engaged with ways to improve your wellbeing.

Our wellbeing as individuals and whānau are closely connected to our natural environment and enhanced through practising our values and reconnecting with our culture and traditions. This is core to our Moemoeā – our shared aspirations for the future of our people: That the Whānau, Hapū and Iwi of Te Rohe o Te Wairoa are prosperous, healthy and aspirational; proudly identifying and connecting with Te Ao Māori; kaitiaki for a restored natural environment; and informed key decision-makers for our future.

If we all participate, we can create community solutions to improve our quality of life, and the collective health of our Whānau, Hāpu, and Iwi. We have health promotion, mental health and cultural experts to help us with the project.

Updated information: tangihanga guidelines during Alert Level 4, PPE, and flu vaccines

Whānau, there have been some updates to the official tangihanga guidelines during Alert level 4, and additional resources have been added to the Ministry of Health website in regard to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements for essential workers. 

Updated tangihanga guidelines during Alert Level 4
Over the past week there have been some changes to the guidelines relating to tangihanga during Alert Level 4. This new set of guidelines from the Ministry of Health is intended to ease restrictions on whānau already struggling with loss, while maintaining the overall requirements of Alert Level 4. It allows for whānau who were in the same isolation bubble as their deceased loved one to go with the tūpāpaku to the funeral home and then to the urupā also.

John Whaanga, Deputy Director-General Māori Health, and his team are continuing to work with trusted experts to ensure whānau feel heard, understood, and supported throughout this pandemic.

Further guidelines for whānau on what to do during Alert Levels 3, 2 and 1, will be sent out over the coming weeks. It is also important whānau are aware that should things change during the Alert Level 4 lockdown, we may be required to review these guidelines again.

Click here to read the latest guidelines.

Whānau, we know the official guidelines for tangihanga during Alert Level 4 are a significant change to how we normally do things. However, now is the time to do all we can to overcome COVID-19. Kia tū kōtahi tātau.

We encourage you to read these guidelines and to let us know if you have any pātai.

PPE for essential workers
Many of our whānau are continuing to do mahi as they provide essential services to the rest of the community.
 
The Ministry of Health has put all the information you need to know about PPE in one single page on their website. Click here to read. The content on this page provides guidance for all essential workers across a variety of work settings.

The page includes:

  • Tips on how to keep you and your whānau safe as an essential worker
  • PPE and hand hygiene posters
  • PPE and handwashing videos
  • More information for specific groups such as community-based midwives and health care workers at border-control.

Flu vaccinations
Free flu vaccinations are available for kaumātua aged 65 and older, pregnant women, and other people with serious health conditions like severe asthma, diabetes, heart, lung and kidney problems or cancer. Tamariki with a history of severe respiratory illness are also eligible for free vaccination.
 
Please encourage your at-risk whānau, especially kaumātua, to get their free flu vaccines as soon as possible. The flu vaccination won’t protect whānau from COVID-19, but it will help protect against influenza.
