Ratana Pā and Village is in line for a significant upgrade with support from Shane Jones’ $1.2 billion regional infrastructure fund and he has a warning for Māoridom - drop the Green Lantern thinking.
Regional Development Minister Jones has been in discussions with Housing Minister Chris Bishop about the needs of the township near Whanganui, which plays host to major hui several times a year.
An upgrade was promised in the term of the previous National Government minister by then Treaty Negotiations Chris Finlayson, who committed to a housing and infrastructure upgrade of Ratana Pā, but the initiative fell by the wayside under Labour.
Jones confirmed the Ratana upgrade was back on the table.....
