With Christmas Day and associated holiday and New Year period fast upon us, we wish you all a safe and happy time with friends, family and the people you love.

Recent incident of carcass dumping
Trust representatives met this week with Council staff to discuss recent issues at Tamatea St and to explore assistance available form Council.  The history of the Trust and Tamatea St were discussed, highlighting the current issues being experienced.  

Council staff were very supportive and agreed to:-

• investigate options around enhanced security measuares
• liaise with Police to establish the frequency of complaints, and to
• monitor community feedback and ensure that this is shared with Police.

 
This is just the start of improving safety measures and we encourage anyone that witnesses an incident of inappropriate behaviour to note it down and report it to the Police.
​
Police have had an increased presence at Rotoiti as of late,, and a number of unlicensed  motorbikes have been seized.  We will meet again with Council in late January.  

Ngā mihi,

Ivor Jones
Chairperson

Kia ora whānau,

It is with a sad heart that we were informed today that people have dumped carcasses of dead animals into our lake, off the jetty on Tamatea Street.

This behaviour, is obviously not appropriate, and when challenged about this, have made claims that are completely untrue.   

We are working through appropriate avenues,  to stop such behaviour.

Ngā mihi,

Ivor Jones
Chairperson

Tēnā koutou katoa,

The Te Tahuna and Rotoiti 3v3 Annual General Meetings for 2022 will be live streamed on the Te Tahuna website on Sat 17 Sept 2022 starting at 10am and 1pm.  If you are unable to make it in person, please do tune in!

Tēnā koutou katoa,

Te Karanga Maha o Ngāti Tamateatutahi Ngāti Kawiti, He aha te mea nui o Te Ao, māku e kī atu, he tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata.

The 2021 Annual General Meeting has been scheduled for Saturday 30 October.

The Trustees of Te Tahuna Trust feel that the main priority for the Trust is the health and safety of tāngata whenua, our whānau, our kuia, and our kaumatua.  As you are all aware, Covid-19 has created a challenging environment for us all to navigate through in these uncertain times.  

Due to the fluidity of alert levels and different restrictions across the country the Trustees have decided to proceed with the Annual General Meeting via an online livestream platform only.

The agenda for the AGM is detailed below and explains how to join the AGM online.  
​
Owners/tāngata whenua/whānau will have the ability to interact/ask questions during the AGM using the online chat tool, where the Chair will answer those questions during the meeting.

The 2021 Annual Report will be emailed to all owners for whom we hold an email address and will also be available to be collected from the Deloitte office from Tuesday 26 October.

He waka eke noa.

We appreciate your support and understanding.
​
Naku noa nā

Tēna koutou katoa,

The Trustees and Management Team of Te Tahuna Trust hope that you and your whānau are taking care of yourselves during these elevated levels due to Covid-19.  Here is an update that we would like to share with you in regard to the management of our Tāonga, Rotoiti 13D2.

Annual General Meeting - 12 December 2020
Due to the re-emergence of Covid-19 during the past months, and a change in Alert Levels, we have closely monitored the landscape, keeping in mind that many of our shareholders that attend our Annual General Meetings are in the high risk group. 

As a result of this, we have determined that the earliest time that we could safely hold an annual general meeting is:

Te Tahuna Trust
Annual General Meeting 2020
Saturday, 12 December 2020
10.00am at Tapuaeharuru Marae

For those that could not attend (e.g. for reasons relating to access like, health or distance) the Annual General Meeting will be live streamed over the internet through our Website and Facebook Page.  

Wetland Management
We continue with our information gathering exercises in regard to management of the flooding issues for the rental properties on Tamatea Street.  The Trustees want to address these issues as quickly as humanly possible.  However, due to issues such as information gathering from a wide range of organisations, this is proving to take more time that we would hope for. 

We have engaged the services of OPUS-WSP for engineering solutions, and engaged with groups such as the Regional Council and Ngāti Pikiao Environmental Society and others, to appropriately manage this issue.   We hope to be able to address this issue in the next 6 months, Mar-July 2021.

Rotoma Kaumatua Project
Te Tahuna Trust are an active partner along with other Ngāti Tamateatutahi-Ngāti Kawiti Land Trusts to progress an initiative lead by Rotoma No. 1 Incorporation to better support our shareholders, specifically Kaumatua.  This initiative has brought us together to discuss common issues that exist between our land trusts, and to form solutions that leverage our individual capacity to assist our shareholders.  We continue to progress this at each meeting.

Trustee Elections
At our Annual General meeting on Saturday, 12 December 2020, we will ask for 3 nominations for new trustees.  This has come about due to the recent resignation by trustee Raina Meha, and the precursory need for 2 new Trustees.  A special recognition is given to Raina for, in a tenure of 4 years suggesting and implementing incremental changes to the operation of the Trust.  The Trustees of Te Tahuna wish Raina well with future endeavors. 

All nominations are welcome and we look forward to working with future Trustees that work from heart space, to manage and develop the resources of Te Tahuna Trust for our shareholders, in line with our Strategic Plan.

Ngā mihi,

Ivor Jones
Chairperson

Strategic Directions
In our monthly trustee hui, we work on a continual basis to further the strategic direction we have set for the trust.  Those actions relate to these strategic directions, specifically: 

• Te Tahuna Ki Te Hoe Te Tahuna trustees will ensure that the trust operates a viable and sustainable ahu whenua trust
• Grow Te Tahuna for the benefit of owners
• Matawhaura Mana He Uri Tu, Working for and in the Community.  We strive for enabling the development of healthy, vibrant whanau, hapū and Iwi
• Uruika Tūpuna Uruika Uri

 
2020 Annual General Meeting - 26 September, 10.00am - Tapuaeharuru Marae, Rotoiti
We seek the nomination of 2 trustees to increase the total number of trustees from 3 to 5.  It was decided at the 2019 AGM to have an odd number of trustees to help decision making, in the event of a deadlock in voting. 
Trustees are planning a special event for this particular AGM.  Please do contact our trust Secretary, Martin Kinder to discuss the process to apply ([email protected] - 07 343 1056).
 
Financial Portfolio review
In preparation for our AGM and as an annual activity, at our June hui, trustees reviewed its diversified investment portfolio with Craigs Investment Partners.
 
Distribution Policies and Grant Approval
As a monthly hui activity, Trustees review the grant applications that come in for a range of things that are governed by our Distribution Policies.  We ask all shareholders to please take advantage of this facility as it is always underutilised.  As such, we are undertaking a review of our distribution policies in the wake of COVID-19 to improve the reach and effectiveness of assistance to shareholders.
 
Ngāti Tamateatutahi Land Trusts
Te Tahuna continues to work with Ngāti Tamateatutahi Land Trusts (Rotoma No. 1, Tautara Matawhaura, and Rotoiti 3v3) on an initiative that will collectively benefit our Kaumatua and Rangatahi.  We are working to this being implemented in 2021.

Ivor Jones
