Te Pūkaki Tapu o Poutūkeka and Associated Lands

About the committee

This committee makes decisions about how the Te Pūkaki Tapu o Poutūkeka and Ngā Kapua Kohuora are managed.

In 2010, mana whenua and council members entered into a co-management agreement, creating the Te Pūkaki Tapu o Poutūkeka Historic Reserve and Associated Māori Lands co-management committee. They updated the agreement in 2023.

The committee aims to:

• preserve the cultural and historic significance of the reserve
• uphold mana whenua’s kaitiaki (guardian) responsibilities and traditions
• protect and manage the land as a public reserve
• contribute to a management plan for the reserve that meets the requirements of the Reserves Act 1977.

Committee members

The committee has three representatives from Te Ākitai Waiohua / Pūkaki Māori Marae Committee and three from Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board.
