GAINS MEASURED IN THE MILLIONS FOR SOUTH TARANAKI IWI SINCE TREATY SETTLEMENT SIGNED
Two years on from signing its Treaty of Waitangi settlement, a South Taranaki iwi is looking to grow services which will benefit its people, including a focus on the development of marae.
Since August 2014, Te Korowai o Ngāruahine has grown its asset base by $10m, some of which has already been tagged to future investment into the iwi's eight marae.
Edwards said in addition to growing Ngāruahine's net assets from the $67.5m settlement quantum to more than $75m, he said there were more opportunities on the horizon for the iwi.

The third and final reading for Ngāruahine's settlement legislation, along with that of Te Atiawa and Taranaki, is expected later this year....
