Our Vision
The vision is a statement of both the future state we intend to achieve and the fundamental principles we will use to achieve it. It covers (amongst other things) our desire to ensure that our Rākaipaakatanga is nurtured and strengthened, is inclusive of all our whanau and results in benefits for our people.
The vision also reflects the fact that all the work of TIORI and the streams of activity that it represents, mandates or umbrellas provide the basis of a unified approach for us to progress towards our vision. The “bigger picture” for us is the continuing development of our own Ngāti Rākaipaaka identity, expressed as we think fit and, in the forms, we think appropriate.
14th December 2020 Annual General Meeting Outcome
The TIORI / TIORT Initial Trustees presented the following 9 resolutions for endorsement and voting by show of hands of the Adult Registered Members present at the AGM.
Further to the endorsement of the above resolutions, the Initial Trustees sort support to gift back a koha.
In December 2010 Te Iwi o Rakaipaaka Inc. (TIORI) was experiencing some financial issues and Te Kotahitanga Marae / Unity Hall supported with a koha for the amount of $17,322.00.
Now that Ngati Rakaipaaka has a new structure in place Te Iwi o Rakaipaaka Trust (TIORT) receiving an annual distribution from the Treaty Settlement, Whanau in attendance at the AGM fully endorsed that the koha of $17,322.00 be gifted back to Te Kotahitanga Marae / Unity Hall.
The Trustees and Whanau in attendance at the AGM paid tribute to Te Kotahitanga Marae for this generous contribution and apologized for the lengthy period taken to pay this back. Na reira, tenei te mihi kia koutou katoa.
Annual and Operational Plan
We engaged subject matter experts to provide us with a robust process to collate all the data whanau gave us through 18 hui a iwi, 14 in the Kainga and 4 a Motu, email and social media mechanisms to come up with the Annual and Operational Plan for the next five years.
The Plan includes Five Pou (pillars) that also have an implementation of the project’s process.

Allocation Uplift
As a unit holder in the Tātau Tātau o Te Wairoa PSGE Unit Trust has allowed us to receive some support from the Settlements accumulated interest. The accumulated interest of $1 million was negotiated by our former representative to assist member Kahui to operationalize their entities and is paid out to each of the seven kahui over a three-year duration at equal payments of $352,333.28.
The first amount of $352,333.28 was uplifted in February 2019 but should have been uplifted in December 2018 and the second $352,333.28 is due to be uplifted December 2019.
This has been a great help particularly to achieve the tasks whanau gave us by the end of December 2019.

Right of First Refusal (RFR)
An RFR means that the claimant group (e.g iwi), has the right to purchase at market value, ahead of any other potential purchaser, specific surplus Crown land, if the relevant government department decides to sell it within a specified period in the future. An RFR is subject to existing third party rights and statutory requirements such as, for example, the offer-back provisions of the Public Works Act 1981.
Rights of First Refusal, therefore, recognise the importance of claimant groups of rebuilding their land holdings, and their relationship to the land as tangata whenua. An RFR is not valued in monetary terms or counted against the settlement quantum.
