On the weekend of 26-28 April 2024, the descendants of Whakarewa will gather for Te Mātu 2024 - Hui-ā-Tau. 

We would like all whānau whānui o Ngāti Rārua me Te Ātiawa ki Motueka to join us on this special weekend of reconnecting and learning.

The most important part of the weekend is the Hui-a-tau which will be held on Saturday 27 April starting at 9.00am. As well as general business, this year you will be casting your vote on proposed amendments to the Trust Deed. Leading up to the Hui-ā-Tau, whānau will have the opportunity to discuss, consider and understand what has been proposed and why the changes are needed. We will use various platforms to engage with you on these proposed changes, watch this space.

A full two-day programme is planned with something for everyone. We have a bus tour around sites of significance, interactive workshops and our important Hui-ā-Tau including a tamariki programme.
