As a result of the meeting of beneficiaries on Saturday 31 January, it was decided to hold a second meeting at 10.00am on 11 April at the Moeraki Marae . This is to address the concerns of beneficiaries, regarding trustees, appoint new trustees as necessary and hold a discussion on the leasing of block 16. Any enquiries please contact Myra Tipa at [email protected]
This meeting is concerning Moeraki Block XVI sections:
Section 7B2; Section 8; Section 9; Section 10; Section 12; Section 14B; Section 20; Section 24B; Section 25; Section 27; Section 29; Section 40; and Moeraki No. 15, Nā Myra Tipa.
I, Myra Tipa, am calling a meeting of owners of block 16 Moeraki Reserve to be held at Moeraki Marae on Saturday 31 January at 2pm.
The purpose of this meeting is to ask the trustees to give us a rundown of the said block to inform the owners of the blocks current status, and also to review the trustees and replace them if necessary. I do this because I have never had any information of this kind since I became an owner 40-plus-years -ago. [Read more…]
At the June rūnanga meeting, a working group was established to consider the current constitution and whether amendment was required for it to better represent the structure of the rūnanga, as an incorporated society.
At the August rūnanga meeting, it was agreed that in lieu of the October rūnanga meeting, a full day wānanga will be held to discuss the overall structure of the rūnanga as it currently stands and going forward. This is a very important kaupapa for our rūnanga and all members, so please come along and bring some shared kai for lunch.
Date: Sunday 14 October
Time: 10am

Makaawhio hui rūnanganui executive meetings
The next scheduled meeting of our rūnanganui (executive) is due to be held on 27 October in Hokitika. Please contact the office if you plan to attend for catering purposes.
Weather is warmer now and it’s our chance to carry on planting at Trotter’s. We are searching for any interested people to start again on 6 October, this being the Saturday before the monthly meeting. Thoughts are we could arrive on the Friday night have a days planting on Saturday and have a fun evening with a meal on Saturday night. For catering purposes please let the office know of your intention to help out. Bring along your children if they are old enough to handle a spade, and introduce them to our wonderful area at Trotters. Also it would be a good opportunity for our plant propagators and growers to see what we are planting, and for them to be growing.
