Tapuae Sports Club, Hunterbrown St, Wairoa

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. 

Horticulture across the district presents an opportunity to transform the Wairoa economy, providing farmers and landowners with better returns, creating meaningful employment opportunities for our people, and over time helping support an eco-system of value-adding Wairoa-based services that traditionally collect around horticulture.

We have had to change the venue for our Annual General Meeting.  A whānau from Australia is due back with their loved one who passed and they are taking him to Rangiāhua Marae. Our condolences go out to the whānau.

Our Annual General Meeting on Saturday 28 November 2020 will now be held at the War Memorial Hall on Queen Street in Wairoa, instead of at Rangiāhua Marae.

Our day will commence with the opening of our office at 34 Marine Parade Wairoa, at 11am.  We invite you to attend, meet our staff and enjoy light refreshments.
