Due to logistical challenges of signing our Deed of Settlement on Koro a decision has been made by the Ngāti Rangi Trust Trustees to move the signing to Raketapauma Marae, Irirangi Waiouru. We appreciate all the responses thus far of support to the upcoming signing and look forward to seeing all those who can attend at Raketapauma.

Other key points to note. Buses are no longer provided as you will be able to use your own transport.
