Resignation | Chief Executive

Chief Executive, Robyn Rauna, has formally tendered her resignation. The trustees accepted Ms Rauna’s resignation at the January meeting; her final day with the Trust was officially Friday, 3 March, though Robyn has tidied up loose ends over the last week.

Robyn made the following statement:

“I have enjoyed my time with Ngāti Hineuru and have deeply valued the relationships I have formed over the last three years. It has been my privilege to work for you all. I wish Hineuru Iwi Trust all the very best in the future!”

Accordingly, the Trust wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude and appreciation for all that Robyn has done for the iwi. Her dedication, hard work, and guidance have been invaluable to our organisation, particularly during the unprecedented times of the Covid-19 pandemic through to the various legislative challenges right up to the most recent reforms of the Resource Management Act.

Chairman, Mana Hazel, said:

“E kore e maroke i te rā i ngā au mihi ki a koe Robyn. He nui ngā mahi āu i ngā tau. Pērā i te Mate Urutā o Kōwhiore 19. Pērā anō i te Resource Management Act (RMA) kei mua i te aroaro i te kāwana i tēnei wā. He iti noa iho ngā mea kua whakahuatia engari te hōhohu o ngā kaupapa arā rā kē te mātātoru o ngā mahi! Nā reira, haere, hoki atu ki tō iwi o Te Aitanga Ā Māhaki, hoki pai atu i ngā rau aroha o Hineuru iwi”

Robyn, Hineuru Iwi Trust thanks you for your service, dedication, and unwavering commitment to the iwi. The Trust wishes Robyn well in her new role. Robyn is to become the Chief Executive of Te Aitanga Ā Māhaki.

Conversely, the Trust is pleased to announce that David Jones has been appointed the interim Chief Executive. David will not be a stranger to many; he has formerly held the role of Chief Executive for Hineuru Iwi Trust. He will provide continuity as the Trust selects a new Chief Executive. Note the recruitment process for the new Chief Executive is underway. Applications have been extended, and they now close on 22 March. Once shortlisting and interviews have concluded, the Trust will provide the iwi with an update in due time. Until then, Trust welcomes David into the role and looks forward to working with him.

Ngā mihi!

Hineuru Iwi Trust supports efforts on the ground

The Trust is pleased to advise the iwi that the first lot of supplies was airlifted into Te Haroto yesterday. This is a fantastic result, and we welcome the support being provided by CDEM.

Rest assured; your chairman, trustees, CE and operations team are working in the background to ensure outcomes and support for those who reside in the Bay. We know that up to 60% of Hineuru iwi members live in the Hawke’s Bay, and we want to ensure that adequate and equitable support is being provided.

In saying this, to assist in the immediate efforts on the ground, the Trust has pledged $10,000 to be paid to Te Taiwhenua O Te Whanganui Ā Orotu. In addition, the trustees on the ground will conduct welfare checks with Hineuru whānau in Napier and Hastings. This will allow us to see where we can lobby for additional support and/or potentially fill any shortcomings where necessary.

Board appointed for new Regional Economic Development Agency

Hawke’s Bay’s new Regional Economic Development Agency (REDA) is in good hands, with a highly skilled line-up of board members appointed to lead the organisation and provide a strong economic voice for the region.

The Matariki Governance Group (MGG) today endorsed the chairman and four board members, following a robust appointment process that attracted many highly qualified candidates.

MGG co-chair Alex Walker said underpinning the appointment selection was the creation of a strong organisation, with mana and positioning, that could give life to the MGG’s aspirations of a thriving Hawke’s Bay economy.

“As a regional leadership group we recognise that partnerships across iwi and hapū Māori, business, and the public and private sectors are essential to create the conditions for regional economic success.

“Imagine a Hawke’s Bay where everyone is actively engaged in, and benefitting from, a thriving regional economy – that’s our aim.

“This newly appointed board brings significant commercial and governance experience along with a strong lens and passion for Hawke’s Bay’s economic development.”

Matariki Governance Group co-chair Leon Symes said the agency would also feed into the wider aims of the MGG.

“REDA will help realise the Matariki Regional Development Strategy, which envisages Hawke’s Bay as a region where wellbeing is enjoyed by every whānau, because the right learning and career opportunities are in place to make sure nobody is left behind.”

Experienced governor and outgoing Napier Port chairman Alasdair MacLeod has been appointed the board chair.

Having held many key roles in Hawke’s Bay, he brings extensive networks, credibility, and economic acumen to lead REDA through its formation, and help set its course for the future.

With its strong business, cultural, social and environmental infrastructure, Hawke’s Bay is a region businesses, investors, talent and visitors want to come to, Mr MacLeod said.

“REDA, as Hawke’s Bay’s most influential new economic enabler, will amplify what others in the region are already doing and, alongside other business support agencies, act as a front door for business in the region.”

The four other board members also brought significant commercial and governance experience, along with a passion for Hawke’s Bay’s economic development.

MORE…

They are:

Shayne Walker – Shayne brings a wide range of governance and commercial skills to the board, including a good understanding of the Māori economy. His governance roles have spanned multiple sectors from health to youth employment, forestry and property development.
Erin Simpson: Erin brings experience in the skills development space, with strong connections to the region and the Crown. He has held governance roles with entities including the Hawke’s Bay Regional Skills Leaders Group, NZ Apples and Pears Inc, and Muka Tangata, People, Food and Fibre Workforce Development Council.
Rawinia Kamau – Rawinia (Ngāti Kahungunu, Rongomaiwahine) brings a strong understanding of economic development and the Māori economy to the board. Her experience has spanned project management, policy analysis, community planning and development, and general management.
Caren Rangi – Caren is an experienced governor, with a strong set of strategic and stakeholder management skills. A proud Cook Island Māori, her governance experience includes positions with organisations ranging from Radio New Zealand to Arts Council of NZ Toi Aotearoa, Pacific Island Homecare Services Trust, and Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.

REDA’s primary focus will be on creating new platforms for growth for Hawke’s Bay by encouraging and enabling new economic activity in the region, and fostering investment and efforts to support a thriving business environment.

BBI Wood Products managing director Brendan O’Sullivan was involved in each phase of the establishment of REDA and said he was pleased to see the board had now been appointed, and was looking forward to the new entity engaging with business and industry in 2023.

“I’m excited about the potential for REDA and the difference it will make for our business sector and the Hawke’s Bay economy as a whole.”

Unanimous support for Hineuru Iwi Trust to become a member of the National Iwi Chairs Forum

In the first week of November, Hineuru Iwi Trust (HIT) sent a delegation of four to the National Iwi Chairs Forum (NICF). This year’s November forum was hosted by Te Ariki o Ngāti Tūwharetoa, Tā Tumu te Heuheu in Taupō.

As usual, NICF was a schedule packed two days; however, many benefits are derived from our attendance. Many of the most topical issues facing Māoridom were discussed during the forum. These were wide-ranging, from Government Reform to Housing, Climate Change and much more.

Notably, at this forum, HIT was officially made a member of NICF. In the past, we have attended the forum; however, we welcome the unanimous endorsement to be a member in our own right. It is only fitting that we acknowledge Ngāti Pāhauwera Development Trust and Ngāti Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated as they, as existing members of NICF, endorsed our application which enabled it to be tabled. HIT was also pleased to endorse the application by Mana Ahuriri Trust to become a member of NICF. With the plethora of issues facing whānau, hapū and iwi, we must work together, support, and encourage unity amongst iwi Māori to benefit us all.

Trustee, Mana Hazel, gave the following statement about his experience at the forum:

“Anō te pai, te āhuareka o te nohotahi o ngā tuākana me ngā tēina i runga i te whakaaro kotahi! Hineuru ka eke!

The unified and collaborative approach of iwi entities and Māori broadly was once an ideal of science fiction! However, today our whanaunga are sitting pokohiwi ki pokohiwi – rae ki te rae, holding the Kawanatanga to account with highly skilled and experienced technicians.

It was good to see smaller iwi contributing in the same space as the much larger iwi. Despite the difference in size, we all face the same challenges. This, to me, demonstrates the value for us as Hineuru in this forum.

It was timely for Hineuru join this forum in Taupō alongside our whānaunga Ngāti Tūwharetoa and Ngāti Kahungunu iwi, as well as Ngāti Pāhauwera! Hineuru māranga mai! Hineuru ka eke!”

We look forward to ongoing resource sharing and collaboration with fellow members. All members of NICF, no matter how big or small can participate fully. HIT intends to participate actively in the forum for the betterment of Hineuru.
