Whakatupuranga 2075

Planning for a bright future

Whakatupuranga 2075 is a future-thinking iwi-informed plan currently under construction, designed to shape the long-term vision of Ngāti Hinerangi ensuring cultural, social, economic, and environmental well-being for generations to come.

Whakatupuranga 2075 started with an iwi wānanga in November 2023, where whānau came and expressed their aspirations for the next 50 years. Whether it’s about governance, economic development, education, or environmental sustainability, the ideas shared will help to provide a roadmap for decision-making that aligns with the values of the iwi.

Following feedback, it is clear that people of Ngāti Hinerangi want to reinforce a shared cultural identity, ensuring that tikanga, reo, and mātauranga Māori are preserved and revitalised. Whānau want to reconnect with their whakapapa and traditions while also adapting to the future.

Iwi want to see us with thriving marae, healthy and happy whānau as well as a strong sense of belonging. By 2075, iwi members want large numbers of our people speaking reo fluently. They want to see an abundance of kaiwhaikōrero and kaikaranga upholding the mana of all our marae.

By 2075, we hope to be thriving economically with ample opportunity to make the most of our education, positive career pathways and plenty of support to help us better manage our finances. Home ownership is an achievable goal and so too investing in property.

By 2075 will have sustainable resource management and be exemplars of environmental kaitiakitanga, looking after our lands, waterways and all the species living within them.

Looking ahead, our people want us to be leaders at decision-making tables within our takiwā through partnerships and strengthened relationships with government agencies, local councils, businesses, and other iwi.
