Te Reo Maori Strategy and Implementation Plan
Regular Wananga
The revitalisation of te reo is a priority. Rangitāne Tangata Reo is the strategy.
We have contracted with Te Matawai to develop resources, hold wananga and teach te reo (Kainga Korero). These are held on a regular basis and we invite all who wish to develop their te reo skills to join.
We have other initiatives under development that support the growth of te reo speaking communities.

Te Ahu A Turanga: Manawatū Tararua Roading Project
The Manawatū Tararua highway or Te Ahu a Turanga is a 12.4km-long highway being developed across the Manawatū Gorge, which is located between Hawke’s Bay and Manawatū in New Zealand.
The project aims to provide a resilient connection across the gorge, following the closure of the Manawatū Gorge State Highway 3 (SH3).
The new route expected to be completed in 2024 will improve connectivity between the Manawatu, Tararua, Hawkes Bay and Wairarapa regions and provide a safe alternative to the previous route. It will reduce travel time between Woodville and Ashhurst to 13 minutes for general traffic and 18 minutes for freight traffic.
Together with Rangitane o Manawatu, Ngati Kauwhata, Ngati Raukawa and Kahungunu, we are partners in the Te Ahu a Turanga Alliance. The other Alliance partners are Waka Kotahi, HEB, WSP, Fulton Hogan and Aurecon. We have a seat on the governance board and the Iwi Working Group (IWG).
