Mauri tū, mauri ora

The purpose of the SGM is to consider and vote on proposed resolutions relating to amendments to the Tapuika Iwi Authority Trust Deed, the Tapuika Oranga Ake Trust Deed, and related constitutional documents.

The proposed changes include amendments required under the Māori Fisheries Act 2004 and the Māori Fisheries Amendment Act 2024, as well as related governance changes.

The key deed amendment resolutions require approval by 75% of eligible votes cast.

"Mai i ngā pae maunga ki te toropuke e tu kau mai ra ki te awa e rere mai ana waiho te whenua ko te takapu a taku tamaiti a Tapuika."

"From the hills standing before me, to that flowing river I claim these lands as the belly of my child Tapuika."
