Ā tātou kōrero - Our story

Te Tāwharau o te Whakatōhea is situated in Ōpōtiki, a coastal town in the sunny Bay of Plenty.

The Trust’s long-term vision ”Ko te kai hoki i Waiaua - to be the food bowl that feeds the world”, confirms the Trusts entrepreneurial spirit, grounded in matauranga (knowledge) which weaves together our future strategic aspirations of being well educated, healthy, socially connected, economically and commercially sound; and living in a thriving environment.
 

With the recent signing of the Whakatōhea Treaty Settlement, we are about to experience another period of growth. The Settlement will see the return of significant assets which will support numerous developments currently underway e.g. Whakatōhea Aquaculture program, the Ōpōtiki harbour development, and other land-based developments. It’s an exciting time to be a part of our continued success story.
