Te Uri o Hau Settlement Trust is the corporate vehicle established to transport over 6,500 beneficiaries from the past to the future.
When the Trust settled its Treaty claims with the Crown in 2002 it immediately went about setting up business units to help reach its goal of having self reliance within the rohe and parity with New Zealand for the next generation.
Business units were established on a needs basis and cover the following areas:
- Tangata - people health and welfare
- Taumata - tikanga and culture
- Housing - own and development
- Commercial - building the commercial asset base for the future and maximising returns to beneficiaries and marae
- Environs - leaders in kaitiakitanga
Te Uri o Hau is leading the way in terms of effective provision of services to its people within its catchment.
