Wahiao Restoration Work
As part of the restoration works on our tupuna whare, Wahiao, three turapa (tukutuku) panels required repair or replacement. A panui was sent out to the iwi and on Sat 18 January Jim Schuster led a wananga with volunteers who were keen and available to help with this process. Since that date, iwi volunteers have worked diligently towards completing the turapa panels ready for the re-opening of the whare on Sun 2 February.
