PRESS RELEASE: Call to Action from Tūhourangi: Regarding the Threat of Golden Clams on Our Lakes
Call to Action from Tūhourangi: Regarding the Threat of Golden Clams on Our Lakes
Rotorua Geothermal System Review
The Bay of Plenty Regional Council (BOPRC) are currently undertaking a review of all geothermal provisions relating to the Rotorua Geothermal System.
We want to ensure that you are aware of this process, to advise you of the planned Tūhourangi Tribal Authority response, and to offer support to Hapū in engaging with this process.
All policies relating to the Rotorua Geothermal System currently sit within the Rotorua Geothermal Plan and the Regional Natural Resources Plan. This review will include and combine all geothermal provisions into the RNRP. It will also:
Review and monitor effectiveness of current planning provisions
Review the Councils' understanding of geothermal
Identify community values
Develop system management plans
Weigh up different management options and their costs and benefits
The Rotorua Geothermal System Management Plan (SMP) which details the proposed changes has been released, and BOPRC are receiving feedback until 8 December 2023. The feedback will then be considered by a joint panel of Councilors and haukāinga representatives before the SMP is adopted by Council in 2024.
The haukāinga rōpū relates to the three pā under Te Ahi Kaa Roa, including Whakarewarewa and Ngāpuna. Our own Corey Ruha has been involved in the review process as part of this arrangement.
It is important that we are part of informing these policies as they directly relate to our Geothermal taonga, to ensure they give effect to customary interests in the first instance. As such, Tūhourangi Tribal Authority are drafting feedback to the proposed changes which will be circulated for feedback from Hapū and uri by Monday 27 November before it is submitted. This submission seeks to support and compliment the values and aspirations that have already been shared by our haukāinga rōpū throughout the review process.
We would also like to offer support to Hapū in providing their own feedback if they wish to do so. A submission template, as well as our draft and final submission will be provided. If you would like further support from TTA we strongly encourage you to get in touch to discuss what this may look like.

The Mana Whenua Academy is a kaupapa to strengthen Tūhourangi connections to our own whenua, with the use of mountain bikes.
The inaugural Mana Whenua Academy cohort had their first wānanga yesterday and will continue to meet regularly through September, October and November. This has been with the support of multiple Tūhourangi-owned businesses, Rotorua community collaborations and whānau expertise who have come together to bring a long-awaited vision to life.
Rangitihi Pene sharing whakapapa and historical kōrero about the area
There are over 160km of trails in the forest that shelters Tūhourangi and Ngāti Whakaue whenua, which entice and welcome thousands of manuhiri each month from Rotorua, across Aotearoa and around the world to ride and experience them. The Mana Whenua Academy looks to develop a pathway for more and more of the people enjoying the ngahere and tracks can trace their whakapapa to the whenua and feel comfortable out there.

Our People: On the world stage
In the last two weeks we’ve celebrated a King of Crankworx Canada, in Tuhoto-Ariki Pene, and a BMX World Champion for 13-14 Boys, in Tarawhai Rikihana-Gray.
Tuhoto-Ariki originally started his competitive biking career in BMX with his siblings and whānau travelling across Aotearoa to various events. With national and world titles in his kete and a strong skills foundation fostered by BMX, Tuhoto-Ariki now competes in downhill mountain biking and has steadily made his mark in this sport as well. Koia kei a koe, e Tuhoto!
Tarawhai was one of 30 BMX athletes, and a wider cycling team from Aotearoa who travelled to Glasgow, Scotland to compete at the UCI Cycling World Championships. He competed against 49 other riders in his division to take out the gold. Auahi ana, e tama!

Our People: Jermayne Maika
Whakanuia tēnei uri nō te whānau Maika-Te Rangipuawhe, nō Ngāti Wahiao & Te Pakira. We got to catch up with Jermayne at the ahurei earlier in June to hear about what he’s been up to. Pānui mai…
Jermayne is currently a 2nd year House Officer, based at Dunedin Hospital in Ōtepoti and graduated as a Doctor, with a Bachelors of Medicine at the end of 2021. Jermayne has been in Ōtepoti since 2015, after he finished school the year before, and not with the original intention of studying medicine or becoming a doctor either. Instead, with aspirations to play professional sport and pursue other career pathways - Jermayne arrived in Ōtepoti without having the qualifications required to get into Medicine or the 1st year Health Science programme.
Mea rawa ake, he completed a bridging course to get university entrance, which flowed into completing the foundation course to get into the 1st year Health Sciences programme at Otago University.
“I couldn’t see myself wanting to do anything else”
The past 9 years on this pathway to becoming a doctor has meant a lot of sacrifices; from study time to being engulfed in mahi and providing a high standard of care for patients - so the mahi/non-mahi balance has been key. Jermayne has figured out a couple of different ways to keep balance though; with playing rugby, horse riding, and the occasional hunt and dive with uncles, his little brother and the bros.
Coming back home to Rotorua when he can is also part of keeping things in balance, so being able to come back for Te Ahurei o Tūhourangi was extra special. Performing with the whānau, chill-ngahau vibes, and knowing everyone out there can connect to what we were signing about - kāre he kupu.
Looking forward into the future, Jermayne wants to complete his initial training as a doctor and add some work experience to his kete which might take him overseas for a little bit. He’s also hinted that he wants to return to Rotorua with his mahi, and that you might even catch him at the noho and wānanga on the road to Matatini in upcoming campaigns…
Nei ngā mihi nui ki a koe Jermayne i tō para i tēnei huarahi i te ao Rata, rongoā me te whakarauora i te iwi. Nei tō iwi e whakanui ana, e tautoko ana i a koe!
He kōrero akiaki, some words of encouragement to whānau interested in studying at Otago:
There’s good support for Māori medical students, and a good crew of whānau/hapori Māori in Ōtepoti
The Dean of Otago Medical School is a wahine Māori, ko Dr. Jo Baxter nō Poutini Ngāi Tahu me Ngāti Apa ki te Rā Tō
Expect there to be a bit of culture shock and difference to what you’re used to in the North Island
Ōtepoti as a city is oriented around students - ko ngā rangatahi ngā rangatira ia te rā, ia te rā!
Bonus and probably most importantly…. the hunting and diving is second to none, I’ll show you the spots lol - from Jermayne himself, e te iwi!

Preparations have picked up in previous months, thanks to Manuariki Tini who has taken up the wero (again) to lead the Ahurei organisation and coordinate the performance items, kapa teams and tutors, chase up t-shirt orders and so much more. Nei ngā mihi a te iwi ki a koe, aunty!
E rua ngā wiki e toe ana e te whānau!! TWO WEEKS TO GO! Kia kakama te whakaharatau, learn those words and get those actions on lock. Ka whakanuia te iwi a te Rātapu 11.06.2023.
A new Tūhourangi pharmacist in the making
Over the weekend, Pounamu Keepa (Tūhourangi, Ngāruahine, Te Aitanga a Māhaki, Ngāti Kahungunu) attended the Ngā Kaitiaki o Te Puna Rongoā o Aotearoa (Māori Pharmacists Association) Symposium here in Rotorua, at Ōwhata Marae.
This year marked the 20th birthday of this rōpū, set up to manaaki and support Māori students studying pharmacy at university as well as those who enter into the workforce as kaimahi in hapori around Aotearoa and the world.
Pounamu is in his 4th and final year of studying towards a Bachelor of Pharmacy at Otago University. Having Ngā Kaitiaki, as well as the Māori Students Association and Māori support programmes at Otago throughout his years of study have been instrumental in him navigating this haerenga and graduating at the end of this year. The free kai and tutoring from the Māori centre have been a big help too, according to Pounamu.
When he first entered into his studies, Pounamu was one of 6 Māori in the pharmacy programme compared to the 10-12 first year students in 2023. A testament to Ngā Kaitiaki, the support for Māori students at their universities, scholarships provided by iwi and other rōpū, Kia Ora Hauora and other initiatives encouraging Māori into healthcare pathways, and of course whānau encouragement and tautoko.
“We can make a difference for our people” is the driver for many Māori students as they embark on their studies, and Pounamu is no exception. He looks to finish strong in his final year, to graduate later on at the end of 2023, then take up an internship in February 2024.
E poho kererū ana tō iwi, e Pounamu!
Auahi ana!
