Tēnā tātou katoa, ki a rātou kua haere ki tua o te tatau pounamu, rātou kua karakahia e Tahu Kumea, e Tahu Whakairo, ka rere a waikamo, ka heke a hupe, ka hotu kā tauwharewhare o te manawa. Ripo rawa te aroha mō te mōtoi a Huikai, a Tūtehuarewa kua riro ki te rika o Aituā. Kua hoki ia ki tō tātou Ūkaipō, nō reira okioki atu rā e te ika pounamu Linda. Koutou te huka mate, haere, haere, haere atu rā. Rātou ki a rātou, tātou kā waihotaka o rātou mā, ki a tātou, tēnā rā tātou katoa.

Nei rā te owha ki a koutou mō te tau hou. Ko ō mātou tūmanako, kia tutuki i ō koutou wawata, i ō koutou moemoeā mō tēnei tau. Ko te tōmina ia kei te ora rawa atu koutou katoa, ā, i whai wā hoki koutou ki te pāinaina i kā hihi o Mauru, kia pakapaka nei te kiri. Mauri ora ki a tātou.

Call for a meeting of owners

Our dad, George Skipper passed away last August and we are in the process of sorting out his affairs.

Listed below are the addresses for blocks of lands that he leased as owner and/or trustee.

The Māori Land Court has advised a meeting of owners should take place in order for the owners to make decisions about who the new trustees should be and whether or not they will continue to lease the lands and to whom.

  • 17 Wairewa Pa Road
  • 4375 Chch Akaroa Road
  • 4343 Chch Akaroa Road
  • 4341 Chch Akaroa Road
  • 21 Wairewa Pa Road

We are hoping to reach as many whānau as possible, because unfortunately we do not have many of their contact details. Ngā mihi, the Skipper whānau.
