Ng\u0101ti Wh\u0101tua \u014cr\u0101kei has launched a new M\u0101ori-led investment initiative, Te Tomokanga ki T\u0101maki – The Gateway to Auckland.<\/p>\n
Iwi deputy chairperson Ngarimu Blair made the announcement on Wednesday while speaking at the National Iwi Chair Forum hosted by Ng\u0101ti Wh\u0101tua \u014cr\u0101kei on Auckland’s waterfront.<\/p>\n
It was followed by an announcement of plans to transform Auckland’s skyline through the redevelopment of the contested Auckland Downtown Carpark into a 56-storey skyscraper with areas for retail and eateries.<\/p>\n
Speaking to a crowd of iwi and business leaders, Blair said the initiative was designed to be collaborative and was underpinned by t\u012bkanga M\u0101ori.<\/p>\n
“As tangata whenua and iwi of the Waitemata we embrace our responsibility to man\u0101ki, care for, and uplift each other. Through Te Tomokanga ki T\u0101maki we are creating opportunities to invest alongside other iwi.”<\/p>\n
