Financial Report Tēnā koutou katoa

Another busy year as our general activity and strength continue to grow on an annual basis. The numbers within the reports show where we are at as at the end of our financial year. We are progressing slowly in most areas but there is some movement. I made this comment in previous year`s reports - hopefully some of the foundation work will come to fruition this coming year. Much of last year`s comments are repeated for this year.

1. Te Rūnanga O Makaawhio Incorporated Society: our major activity or General Administration account.

This is principally funded by way of Grants from Kāti Māhaki Ki Makaawhio Limited and this is added to by specific Grants for specific purposes. It can be seen by reading the accounts that both Income and Expenditure in the past financial year has increased again on the previous year. A major difference is that the Marae account has been merged into the General account. This shortcuts the moving of funds around to get the same result. Fortunately Ngāi Tahu continues to increase its Pūtea Whakamahi and this allows us to continue to venture into the business investments we have. Also this year some major transfers across from Kāti Māhaki have been deemed by the Accountants to be koha transfers, on this basis you will see $166,750 across in this account. This has some major financial implications as it both avoids Income Tax and GST payment. We have been and still are building a Pounamu activity. Our accounts show a small amount of revenue from this source. We have a stock of stone and end product which have to date produced no sales. You will note a mention in the Notes to the accounts on this. This is reasoned to be in excess of $4million in value. Aotea is a similar position - a stock of stone and finished product but no sales. On this basis it is shown as a Current Asset in the Balance sheet. Our Farming activity is similar as well. It shows stock in the Balance sheet as an asset as we were holding at Balance date. There has subsequently been some sales but this project is still in the early development stage. This coming year must surely see some end results. As you will see from the accounts our general running costs show little variation to the previous year. Our Rūnanga has grown and continues to grow in all areas. This inevitably leads to some increased costs associated with increased activity. It can be noted that Meeting Fees again fell last year whilst Travel costs have also remained stable.

2. Te Rūnanga O Makaawhio Marae Account: account is now merged to be within the General account.

Aerial view of our Marae, Mahitahi

For this year they have still produced a standalone summary account. The cash deficit remains and always will. Marae stay income was up on last year. We should give thanks to those who make that happen. Not all of us can assist but those who do should be applauded for making this happen. We all know when we come on this Marae it is our heart. We are blessed to have such a beautiful Marae. To the koha donors we should thank them also because it makes the general burden less. Same comments as before. We have to continue to support this Centre in a financial way. We have no choice. 3. Kāti Māhaki Ki Makaawhio Limited: the Charitable Company owned 100% by

the Rūnanga. Its major role in this past year has been to again fund the Administration of the Rūnanga. It also supplied significant Grant funds to the Marae account. In the past year its income has been boosted with an increased Pūtea Whakamahi from Ngāi Tahu. This continues a pattern of increased funding to rūnanga. The new concept that major transfers for specific purposes such as Van purchase /Cattle stock purchase can be treated as koha has great benefit to us. This has been driven by Ashton Wheelans so I have no concerns about the validity of it.

This year again a substantial Education grant was distributed to a number of our tamariki. Net asset value in this Company has continued to grow. 4. Makaawhio Glacier Limited: owned 100% by Kati Mahaki.

Franz Josef Glacier Guides – Te Ao Marama opening

As stated previously, this has been our major investment, and also our major income earning Company. During this last Financial year there has been little report back on how it is progressing. However we did receive a Dividend $83,990 last September. I would like to see some progress reporting around this. Our whole picture is still a sound one. Our net asset value is secure. We have strong foundations. We need to keep pressing for some income flows. We have capital investments but to date they have returned little by way of income. We have Pounamu / Aotea / Farming already in place but not currently to the point of bearing fruit. It will be a good day when we start to see more income sources other than Grants. My role is to keep our financial state in a sound and safe manner. Nothing is achieved by anyone or any group alone. Finally, as this is the AGM of the Incorporated Society, which includes the Marae account as a part of it, I would like to move that my report and the Annual Accounts for those entities, as presented be accepted.

Kaiwhakahaere

Chairperson E poua mā, e taua mā o Ngāti Māhaki, tēnā koutou! This has been an extraordinarily busy year across the board, from cultural to social and economic. We have taken some bold and strategic decisions which will put Makaawhio firmly in the business arena and lead this rūnanga into a new era. The gains made in the past year are mirrored by the number of meetings in between our six-weekly executive meetings, but although very taxing, these have laid the foundations for some exciting developments. After years of prevaricating over what to do with our huge stock of Tahutahi pounamu, we are on the very cusp of a breakthrough that will see us in charge, from the point of extraction to the point of sale. We have three irons in the fire for this, and two of these are currently red hot. We are in the midst of due diligence so are bound by confidentiality, but all going to plan we can expect an announcement soon.

Stocktake August 2015

Another major step forward in the pounamu space is the progressive sale of the majority of the manufactured Tahutahi that was either confiscated or surrendered to Ngāi Tahu during the court action, and subsequently returned to Makaawhio. This took some bold decision making, followed by an awful lot of negotiation, firstly with Ngāi Tahu, to be able to release these pieces back to the retailer from which they came, under a share basis. By the time we finally emerged with approval to sell through the Ngāi Tahu pounamu authentication scheme we had missed what had been a massive tourist season on the West Coast. However, we did manage to get the first tranche of Tahutahi on the shelves at Westland Greenstone for the shoulder of the season, yielding $14,000 in what by then was the off-season. Bear in mind that our negotiations with Ngāi Tahu began well before the 2015-16 tourist season! Westland Greenstone is expecting another bumper season and fully expects to sell the rest of the returned Tahutahi over the next few months, yielding a further

$60,000 in our share. Negotiations then turned to Mountain Jade, which accounts for the bulk of the seized stone. They also expect to sell the lot in the coming season, with a total expected yield to Makaawhio of $240,000. Meantime, we have paused production carving of aotea for now because of the sustainability concerns we raised at the last hui a tau. To date we have only carved river tumbled aotea of varying sizes, and have still to pinpoint the source, other than knowing that it is somewhere within Kahokahotere. Without finding and quantifying the seam, or seams, it would be reckless to continue with commercial exploitation, even on a small scale. We do have, however, about $80,000 of carved pieces ready for sale, and as promised last year these will be offered first to the Makaawhio membership by way of a dedicated sales website to be accessed via a members only portal on our new Rūnanga website. The latter is now live, and the web designers are now working on the aotea sales site. Our carving project at Jacobs River has since been refocused on pounamu, building stock for our retail ventures referenced earlier. The other change here has been in the management, as ‘distance management’ has not been easy, therefore we are grateful to Helen Rasmussen for providing on the ground management for us.

Aotea Mining License sign posted on Makaawhio River Bridge

An exciting development with the aotea was our successful application to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Enterprise for $120,000 for a combined science/mātauranga Māori project specific to aotea. This two-year project is being run by GNS Science on our behalf, and will involve lots of field work up the Makaawhio River, wānanga with whānau, and hopefully it will also lead us to the source. This project will be led by Dr Simon Cox, who is one of the most eminent scientists in his field in New Zealand. The new website is one of several ways we have of improving communication with the whānau. As noted, this will have a members-only section with password protection, which will allow us to start populating the site with lots of material specific only to the Rūnanga; all that the public will see is the front pages, which are very generic. Secondly, we recently launched our e-pānui - an electronic string of interesting pānui and news.

This is compiled and sent out every fortnight via our whānau email list of more than 200 households. We also make good use of Te Pānui Rūnanga to carry updates and notices, have an active Facebook page, and now the website has been upgraded I will soon recommence the Makaawhio blog as another tool of communication. After at least 12 frustrating years of trying to win back the leases on our reserve lands from the Māori Trustee, we finally succeeded in December when the trustee agreed to consider our bid for Māori Reserve 855 at Jacobs River as a dry stock beef unit. We won the agreement only days before Christmas and were then given an unreasonable timeframe to finalise our bid by early January, which necessarily involved a lot of to-ing and fro-ing over the holidays, but we did it and reached final agreement for a nine-year lease over 130ha of prime river flat farmland on January 15. Moreover, this is land that was owned and farmed by our tīpuna for generations, and embraces the site of our 19th century pa.

Pāmu Makaawhio – Farm Komiti site visit and hui 12th August 2016.

With the lease taking effect from February 1 the next step was to pull together a farming committee, and in this we have the best possible committee to manage the property on our behalf - Michael Scott, Rob Wilson, Paul Wilson and Shane Kelly from Ngai Tahu Farming - a great mixture of wise heads with local knowledge and a lifetime of farming in West Coast conditions. Treasurer Stu Barr was subsequently added to the committee. We are particularly thankful for the support we have received from Ngāi Tahu Farming who have freely shared their time and expertise, plus stock purchase and bulk buying power. This reserve was farmed by Ngāti Māhaki whānau for well over 100 years and only slipped out of whānau hands in the past 20 years. As a result, it has become a little neglected but will soon be back in good shape. As a key condition of the lease, we immediately replaced the fence along the State Highway, fixed up the race and have a programme to deal to the gorse, which only infests the front portion of the property. Having taken possession

of the farm in late summer, the timing meant we missed that fattening opportunity so the decision was taken to stock the farm by buying 100 head of cattle to graze over winter, then ramping numbers up considerably over spring and summer. In essence, this farm business involves rearing and fattening beef cattle for sale to the works, plus there is the additional very substantial income from hay sales in the coming summer. We have employed a part-time farm worker for now, and as numbers build up over the coming months we will be looking for an experienced full-time farm manager, so this enterprise is already fulfilling one of the main goals of the Rūnanga - to bring people home. It is also part of our Rūnanga long-term goals to regain control and use of the Māori reserves in this area and so with this business we have the opportunity to prove the sceptics wrong - including our own - and to show the Office of the Māori Trustee that as the owners individually, we are also the natural kaitiaki of these lands. From here we hope to spring into the other prime Māori reserves around Bruce Bay. As for our Waiau (Franz Josef) farm, which we own outright, the farm committee decided it was better to pull the pin on the small-scale joint venture there, and to lease out the property for a steady and regular income, and this is now underway while we assess the long-term future of this property as a potential subdivision, especially along the highway frontage, as Franz Josef township is squeezed to the north. It remains a very solid investment. As our workload has grown substantially, so have staff numbers with the addition of five positions over the past year. We have welcomed aboard Paul Wilson as our on-the-ground pounamu protection and resource management officer; Kathleen Langi as kaitoko mātauranga (education), funded through Ngai Tahu; Jackie Douglas as Whānau Ora navigator, funded through Pūtahitanga and administered by Ngāti Waewae; Nathan Wilson as part-time farm worker at Makaawhio; and Colin McDonnell as part-time business development officer. Each of these are perfectly suited to their roles and are great ambassadors for the Rūnanga.

Te Ao Marama Opening – Franz Josef – 25th June 2016

Culturally, we have also had an extremely busy workload. Just some of the big public events at which Makaawhio took a leading role were the very well attended Waitangi Day Festival on the marae, Ōkārito 150th celebrations, Charlie Douglas centennial celebrations (with our focus on Ruera te Naihi), our biggest Anzac Day

marae service yet (including a busload of Australian tourists!), and the opening of Te Ao Marama, the new Ngāi Tahu Tourism base at Franz Josef Glacier. This has also been a year of change, with a changing of the guard at Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu. Susan Wallace was elected our new rep at the table, replacing Tim Rochford who has filled that seat for the past 16 or 17 years. That is a great innings in anyone’s book, and I thank Tim for his time and commitment to this role over so many years. Susan has only been to one TRONT meeting so far, but I also wish her well in representing us afresh. Congratulations also to Kara Edwards on her appointment to one of the top managerial roles at Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, as General Manager Te Ao Tūroa.

This is a tremendous achievement for Kara, and a natural progression of which we can all be proud. As a 16-year-old she was kai-karanga at our formative hui in 1988, and was the Rūnanga secretary in her 20s, so you could say this is her destiny! Another real milestone over the past year is the establishment of our unique set of education scholarships, specially tailored to encourage learning in te reo me ngā tikanga, both on Te Tai o Poutini and elsewhere. This is a creative and courageous move by our Mātauranga Komiti members, all of whom contributed and worked hard on this truly unique initiative. While we have been busy moving ahead with the Rūnanga, it has been interesting to be part of the six-yearly Ngai Tahu PRAG (papatipu rūnanga aspirations) process, to see how our brother and sister papatipu rūnanga are doing. We presented our new aspirations paper before TRONT in Christchurch just last weekend, and it is clear from this that Makaawhio is definitely in the lead pack in terms of activity and development across the board. It is therefore timely to take stock of what we now have and to celebrate how far we’ve come: PROPERTIES 1. Te Tauraka Waka a Māui Marae = book value $2,000,000 2. Rūnanga office premises, 56 Brittan Street, Hokitika = book value $145,000 3. Waiau farm (Franz Josef Glacier) 25ha = book value $350,000 4. Makaawhio Pā (Jacobs River School) = book value $300,000 (The only loan owing on these properties if $100,000 for the Hokitika property)

Firstly, I would like to acknowledge the many whānau who have passed away in the past year and I extend my aroha to those mourning the loss of their loved ones. It has been a privilege and honour to serve as Upokorūnanga for another year, in what has been another busy 12 months. I continue to feel fortunate to represent the rūnanga at tribal, local, hapū and marae events. Some of the highlights have been:

Kaikōrero-Representing rūnanga at a number of different pōwhiri jointly with Ngāti Waewae and at our Marae, including the Governor Generals visit to the coast and down to Waiau, new Police Area Commander pōwhiri, the opening of the Charlie Douglas Centenary Celebrations Weekend.

Rūnanga events-Supporting events such as Hākari Kaumātua in Hokitika and at Marae, including our Annual ANZAC Day celebration which was bigger than ever and our inaugural Movie night!

Karakia and blessings-I have carried out karakia and blessings to support the MOU we have with the NZ Police when fatalities have occurred, karakia for taoka species leaving and returning to our rohe, the blessing and opening of the new Takaka District Memorial Park, where Makaawhio donated the touchstone in recognition of the local manawhenua tautoko of our Marae opening in 2005,

and at a number of joint events on Te Tai o Poutini, the blessing and reopening of Crestwicke Hut and the opening of the new Waiau Building we named Te Ao Marama.

Crestwicke Hut Blessing

I continue to serve as a member of the Komiti Taiao, Māhakitaka and Marae Tumu-whakahaere and a rūnanga representative on a range of external committee. A fuller report has been included in the Supplementary Agenda papers. I would like to acknowledge Rūnanganui members for their work and commitment to the Rūnanga, to thank the office staff for their support and the members who have given so freely of their time. You work is best described in the whakataukī, Mā pango mā whero, ka oti te mahi. It is through your contributions, that we continue to get the work done!

Ki tāku whānau, tēnei e mihi aroha ki a koutou, hei kaitautoko i tōku mahi, arā I tō mātou mahi. Huri noa ki a koutou, te whānau o Kāti Māhaki, ka nui kā mihi ki a koutou katoa. Mā te atua koutou e manaaki, e ārahi, e tiaki hoki i kā wā katoa. Mauriora! Venerable Richard Wallace QSM Upokorūnanga

If the centre shoot of the flax is pulled out and the flax dies, where will the bellbird sing?

It is my privilege to serve, as the new Makaawhio representative on our tribal council following my appointment in August this year. I was one of three new representatives welcomed at my first meeting and since then, there have been confirmations of reappointments for three other rūnanga with at least two other rūnanga either undertaking or about to undertake their election processes.

TRONT Hui – Rōpū Tautoko for mihi whakatau

My entry to the table, has been at a challenging time for Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu. Not only are we about to go through potentially one of the most significant changes in recent history, with the announcement of the pending resignation of Kaiwhakahaere, Tā Mark Solomon after 18 years at the helm, the table is also dealing with a stream of information being leaked to the media, which is damaging the credibility and reputation of the tribe and its leadership, and, creating suspicion and mistrust at the table. The media coverage paints no-one in a good light and trying to identify who is responsible is proving a challenge, but an investigation is being undertaken. The good news is that Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu has continued its strong financial performance record, posting a profit of $168.73m (post distribution) this financial

Page 21: Rārangi Ūpoko Contents - Home | Te Rūnanga o Makaawhiomakaawhio.maori.nz/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/AR-2016-Reports-sec… · 10.4.1.4 Pounamu 10.4.1.5 Taiao Page 25 10.4.1.6 Toi

year. Ngāi Tahu Holdings Group contributed to this strong position, exceeding forecasted expectations with a $103.96m net operating surplus, a total net profit of $210.55m and increasing shareholder equity by $122m to $1.2b! The Holdings suplus has been aided by the ongoing demand for residential housing in the Christchurch residential property market, strong kōura sales into China and the significant upturn in the tourism industry. They are predicting new challenges going forward for the property company as the demand for residential property in Christchurch reduces, however, new oportunities should be created through the acquistion of 50 percent shareholdings in both mānuka honey specialist Watson and Son and South Island logistics company Hilton Haulage. This year, has also been a year of milestones, with the celebration of the 10-year anniversary of three key tribal initiatives: Whai Rawa, Aoraki Bound and the Ngāi Tahu Funds. All three have made a huge contribution to the personal, cultural and financial growth of Ngāi Tahu whānau and communities. In a nutshell, Whai Rawa, now has a total fund value of more than $52m, the Ngāi Tahu Funds have supported more than 855 projects to a total value of $8.5m and Aoraki Bound has completed 22 successful courses, that’s close to 250 alumni! Next year will mark another milestone – the 20 year anniversary since Settlement! The recent completion of PRAG (Papatipu Rūnaka Aspiration Group) presentations from nearly all rūnanga will be used to guide planning going forward. Our presentation followed Ngāti Waewae, with a joint kōrero concerning our joint governance of Poutini Waiora and progressing the governance of the Pounamu Authentication Scheme via the newly established tribal Pounamu Company, on 18 September 2016. The process provided a good overview of where other rūnanga are and where they want to be. From my observation, Makaawhio is definitely one of the leading rūnanga in terms of activity and development, and there are opportunities to access and utilise tribal programs, resources and expertise to further support our aspirations. I am pleased to confirm that I have been appointed to the Te Here Committee, one of the two standing committee, the other being Te Apārangi. Due to a recent TRONT resolution which not only reduced membership numbers but also the guaranteed place for all reps on at least one of the two committee, there are now only a total of twelve spaces, six on each. I have started to develop a reporting, feedback and consultation framework to ensure I am able to reflect a Makaawhio position on matters discussed at the table. At this stage, these take the form of a pre-TRONT Report, followed by a hui and post-TRONT Report, followed by a hui. Although I have received positive feedback for the process to date, the report format is very much a work in progress and I am still looking at the best distribution options for these and update reports which will require a combination of e-mail, web site posts and notices included in the e-pānui. Mō tātou, a mō kā uri a muri ake nei! Susan Wallace

Komiti Māhakitaka

Culture & Heritage Committee E te hapū o Kāti Māhaki, tēnā koutou! Kā mema komiti: Paul Madgwick, Mike Rochford, Richard Wallace, Steven McLaren and Fayne Robinson. Māhakitaka have been fortunate to maintain a stable membership base, which has ensured we have been able to continue to meet steady flow of requests for cultural advice and interpretation and the other workload demands of a busy komiti. The opening of Te Ao Marama in June this year saw the completion of significant pieces of work with Ngāi Tahu Tourism and DOC. Our manawhenua signature is firmly stamped outside and throughout the new building, and although there remains further interpretation to be completed, the character it lacked before the opening has more than been addressed. Te mata o te whenua – DOC office, Waiau

Involvement in local community events such as the Ōkārito 150th celebrations and the Charlie Douglas centennial celebrations (with our focus on Ruera te Naihi) in Hokitika, not only ensured recognition of manawhenua history, but also provided good publicity for our rūnanga. Project wise the komiti continues to work on a range of projects including:

Schedule of Geographic Board Submissions - aimed at correcting an identified list of place names in our rohe. We have finalised our submission seeking a correction for Waitangi Taona to Waitangi Tahuna. This will be submitted on confirmation of new Ngāi Tahu Representative to the board.

Komiti Marae Tumu Whakahaere

Marae Management Committee It has been a frustrating two-year wait for the quantity surveyor needed to start the process necessary to access our $1 million entitlement of the Ngai Tahu Marae Development Fund. The marae development fund has been made available equally to all 18 papatipu marae to assist with building, upgrading or finishing marae, and so we have had to watch year by year as we have been bumped down to the bottom of the list because of inaction. Understandably, it was only fair that the priority was for those runanga who did not have a marae. For Makaawhio, this is an opportunity to revisit our own plans that had to be curtailed 13 years ago because of affordability; the Marae Development Fund was not available back then so we had to use our own funds, so we are grateful for the support now offered by Ngai Tahu. The Marae Komiti has stepped through the complex from the front gate to the back, mapping out areas of improvement for things that were either cut out of the original plans or have proved too small or inadequate, such as lack of storage and washroom facilities, plus a bigger mattress room.

Te Tauraka Waka a Māui Marae – Dawn August 2016

The great news is that the Marae Komiti hosted the quantity surveyor Alan Bateman and his architect at the marae just last week for an overnight stay, and were able to walk through our wants and needs with them. This has been a great relief after such a long wait, but we are now in the queue! Alan will now price and prioritise the work programme, and perhaps leverage off the Marae Fund with funding applications to the likes of Lotteries. Once the work programme has been agreed and submitted to the fund committee, we then wait to be scheduled in against the other Ngai Tahu marae … but hopefully, 2017 will be our year! The marae has been in steady use over the past year, with probably an above-

average number of bookings. The complex continues to be maintained to a high standard, thanks to our contractor Jeff Mahuika. However, 11 years of use has taken its toll on the fittings, such as kitchen goods, sheets etc which have all been slowly depleted. This can also be covered by the development fund, although some purchases, such as new sheets, can’t wait because we were embarrassed to have insufficient sheets and pillow cases from one weekend to the next with various groups coming through. Fencing remains a major concern, and this is being worked through with our fencing contractor. In February we held our inaugural Waitangi Day Festival at the marae, funded by the Waitangi Day Commission. With demonstrations, games, kai and talks this was a very successful outing that attracted a big crowd of whānau and from the South Westland community on what was a stifling hot day. The festival was held on Waitangi Day itself, and we followed it up two days later with the annual Māhaki whānau sports and picnic at Woodstock on the Monday holiday. We have decided to hold a Waitangi Day Festival at the marae every second year. Paul Madgwick Chairman Komiti Marae Tumu Whakahaere

Mātauraka Māhaki ki Makaawhio Secondary Schools Grants Our komiti managed the application and distribution process for our secondary school grants which are available annually to assist with school related costs. Criteria for these grants require that the applicant must have a tamaiti currently attending High School, in the years 9 to 13 and these tamaiti must whakapapa to Kāti Māhaki ki Makaawhio. Last year this criteria was extended to those who are returning to studies to complete NCEA and are considering whether to further extend to include tamariki in year 7 and 8 who move from Primary School directly to high school as is the case in Hokitika. This year we distributed grants to 30 Kāti Māhaki rakatahi at $1676.67 each and acknowledge Kāti Māhaki ki Makaawhio LTD, who fund these grants each year. Nei rā te mihi!

Komiti Taiao

Natural Resources Committee Annual Report 2016 From Terry Scott Te Runanga O Makaawhio AGM 8th October 2016 Kia Ora Chair Paul, could I express my greetings to you and to all the Whānau who are gathered here today to review the activities of Te Rūnanga O Makaawhio Inc for the year 2015 -2016. I have a number of areas that I wish to report on. They are;

Hazardous Substances and New Organisims (HSNO) Komiti.

Whio Recovery Group

Te Tai Poutini/West Coast Conservation Board. These report can be accessed in the Supplement to this Annual Report. I stated in last year’s report, it had been by and large a quiet year for Taiao. The normal consents for mining and farming activities had been dealt with by Taiao, but to a lesser degree than other years. I must say that the same applies this year. It has also been a quiet year. There were some issues dealt with that were beyond the norm The two significant ones being the Temporary Helicopter Landing Permit on Ka Roimata o Hine Hukatere following the on-going retreat of the Ice.

Mt Tutoko

Another aircraft issue that we were confronted with was for landing on Mt Tutoko. We apposed the application . The other issue is the matter of the Poison 1080 and the apparent ignoring of our concerns by those who use it for predator control. I believe that we need to give serious consideration on how to deal with that. My personal view is and I know it is shared by others is that we need to make an issue of us being basically ignored. I think we should give serious consideration to taking the matter to the Environmental Court. We would need to take serious legal advice as it would not be a cheap exercise. I also commented last year about us making some progress in relation to the adding into consents and permits that any restoration that is required then native indigenous plantings must be used. It is going to be a hard one to monitor but I think we just need to keep at it. A follow on from that, although not in our Rowi, is the use of Native plants in the restoration programme at the Globe Mine at Reefton.

The change of attitude from the use of exotic trees to native came from our runanga when we stood out in relation to restoration of Gold Mine sites in our Rowi. We were successful to some degree and that approach has been carried through the Conservation Board to other areas. I would like to thank those who were on Taiao this year, Richard Wallace, Jackie Douglas Paul Madgwick, and Susan Wallace. A particular thanks to Rachael Forsyth for the admin work for Taiao. To me Taiao is the lynch pin between ourselves as Tangata Whenua and the treaty partner and local Government and the community at large who make use of our Takiwā for whatever reason . Finally Paul, I would like to acknowledge the Runanga via the executive for supporting me in the various komiti which have a Taiao input. I would also acknowledge the support I have had from the office and staff of TRONT. Terry Scott Convenor Taiao Komiti September 2016

Komiti Toitū te whenua

Land Committee Although this komiti has not met for some time, the key project remains - to work towards the goal of regaining control of our Maori reserves in South Westland. In other words, facilitating a process to call landowners together with the aim of amalgamating into one land trust that can then take these whenua out of the hands of the Office of the Maori Trustee in Whanganui, similar to that used 40 years ago to form the Mawhera Incorporation. Realistically, the only way this is going to move ahead is if we engage someone to work on this as a specific project, and to this end we should be tapping into one of the many funding streams that are available for such projects to pay someone’s time for 12 months. The key to success then will be finding the right person for the job, as this person will need to be very familiar with the history of the reserves, whakapapa, and the lay of the land. A very focused project should be able to achieve this in a year so we should explore the options, and if necessary draw on the help of Ngai Tahu to complete the application process.

Komiti Whakamahi

Operations Committee This komiti comprises myself, Susan Wallace, Paul Madgwick & Rachael Forsyth. We meet every two months, to discuss the functions and systems around the office. Business as usual, not for the last year! There has been a lot happening as we continue to grow as a Rūnanga this means more work for the office. We are getting involved in more business operations and this brings with it more work for everyone especially Susan and Rachael in the office. We employ several contractors who are managed by Susan and this takes a lot of work, requiring regular meetings, phone calls, and general staff management. Rachael is kept busy with preparations of agendas and minute taking for the various komiti's within the Runanga and the Executive. And then there is the day to day running and operation of the Rūnanga.

Makaawhio Appointment Committee 2016

Our systems and processes are sound and the office runs very effectively and as we move with technology we continue to utilise new systems. The use of dropbox for our accounting and invoice payments is great meaning we can manage these processes from anywhere, it’s a simple as the office sending myself, Paul or Stu an email advising that accounts are ready for authorising, we log on, action them and then they are ready for Stu to load up for payment. All executive members are now on ipads, which is great, this has been one of the best moves we made as it has cut down the amount time required prior to every komiti and executive meeting by the office staff.

Paperless hui – Terry Scott & Pauline Adams - Kaipo, Mahitahi.

One of our greatest achievements this year has been the conversion of part of the garage into a board room. It looks great and is just what we needed. In terms of on-going maintenance the outside of the office will be painted in the next couple of months, a new fence is going up and then we can put the new sign in place. This was once a house remember so it was never really intended to be used for the purpose of an office but we have made it work, which is great and it's ours.

New meeting room in the garage completed.

Komiti Whānaukataka

Whānau Relationship Development Committee Whanaungatanga Komiti events throughout the year continue to be a key way of connecting with the whānau, from tamariki through to kaumātua, and mostly these are at little cost to the Runanga - just the time in organising and hosting them. It was decided to pull the pin on the big Hokitika kaumātua dinner, which had been very popular initially but gradually waned, and to refocus on other outings and activities for the kaumātua. At the same time, we remain committed to an annual kaumātua dinner at the marae, although this year’s dinner was cancelled at late notice because of workload; it will be back in early 2017. Meantime, our kaumātua co-ordinator Marie Mahuika-Forsyth has faithfully continued her weekly kaumātua outings, with a focus on the Hokitika and Greymouth rest homes, where quite a number of our kaumātua are now residing. Kaumātua have enjoyed trips to Westport, the glacier pools, Gloriavale concert and dinner, Opportunity concert, and have also supported us at numerous cultural events and openings. Our thanks to Marie for keeping our kaumātua active and interested!

Makaawhio Whānau Picnic and Sports Day, Rimu, 8 February 2016

The Māhaki Christmas pool party was another success, and this year we will be treating the tamariki to a trip to the Greymouth aquatic centre and hydro slides. The whānau picnic and sports at Woodstock, held on Waitangi Day Observed, was our best yet with a large turnout of a wide range of whānau. It was a very hot day, so everyone was thankful of the shelter of the giant oak tree! It was a memorable day, probably more so because of the devastating fire that took hold at Westland High School around lunchtime and took to the end of the day to bring under control.

Waitangi Day Celebrations – Mahitahi 2016

Kūmara Races 2016

In contrast, the Kumara Races were not high summer and ended in cold rain. However, it was still a great outing, and this year doubled as Marie’s milestone birthday! The Hokitika Races followed a week later, again with a Makaawhio hospitality tent. The Anzac Day service was also our biggest and best yet, with a service again led jointly by our Upoko Richard Wallace and Father Mike Mahoney of Whataroa. Kaipo and Poke were filled for the occasion with large numbers from Fox Glacier to Haast, and we even welcomed a busload of Australians who were in South Westland and looking for somewhere to observe Anzac Day.

We now have a date for the whānau darts and pool social, set down for the Hokitika Chartered Club on Sunday, 30 October. This was last held about three years ago and was very popular with whānau who would otherwise not be drawn to meetings or other Rūnanga events - and there are a large number of very sharp darts players out there in the whānau! We have pounamu trophies made, which will be competed for each year.
