Reclamation and Reconnection

Ngāti Māhanga whānau

Integral to realising the vision of the Reclaiming Pūtoetoe project are reclamation workshops with Ngāti Māhanga whānau. Funded by WEL Energy Trust and held at the Raglan Holiday Park Papahua, spots in these workshops filled within hours.

Sustained by delicious kai, space was created for whānau to come together to learn, kōrero, connect and dream.

Whānau walked the whenua, listening, seeing and feeling, as they actively reclaimed and reconnected to their whenua, tūpuna and stories.

“We want people to understand why this whenua matters”

The Government is changing how our local governments are organised. What does this mean for Whāingaroa? Could council mergers improve efficiency? How do we make sure local communities keep a strong voice in decision-making?
Raglan Naturally Community Trust is leading a community-wide response focused on how to best support our community in the face of rapidly rising fuel prices and cost of living challenges.
The Raglan Naturally Community Trust appointed its Community Wellbeing Connector (CWC) in September 2022. The initial CWC role was funded by the Ministry of Social Development for 12 months. In 2026, the CWC role has been re-established as a key part of our Cost of Living Community Response.

We would love to hear from you.
