IWI-LED LOW-COST HEALTH CENTRE FOR SOUTH DUNEDIN

"So this is about 'how does Ngāi Tahu put its footprint back on our landscape here', and how Ngāi Tahu responds to the needs of their broader community," Ms Matahaere-Atariki said.

Another partner is Otago University, which is investing in the project.....
