NINETY MILE BEACH BOARD WORKSHOP, TOUR 'INVALUABLE' Members of the new Te Oneroa-a-TÅhÄ/Ninety Mile Beach Board have had a fascinating first-hand insight into the coastal treasure they are charged with managing. Chairman Haami Piripi and fellow board members gathered in Kaitaia recently (Friday 20 May) for a workshop to discuss the board’s legally-mandated roles and functions and continue getting-to-know one another. Mr Piripi says they also took the opportunity to travel up Te Oneroa-a-TÅhÄ/Ninety Mile Beach to hear the history and some of the wealth of stories associated with it from a cultural perspective. Established through Treaty of Waitangi settlement legislation for Te Rarawa, Te Aupouri, NgatiTakoto and Ngati Kuri, the board will co-develop a management plan for the beach, which has iconic status to both Maori and non-Maori alike….. www.voxy.co.nz/national/5/252283
