Te Pae Tawhiti – Our Intergenerational Vision
The world is changing all around us, but there are constants – our land, people, identity and community.
Our purpose
Our tūpuna were creative, astute and forward-thinking people who gifted us our land, whakapapa and cultural identity. It is our responsibility to preserve and enhance this taonga, now and for future generations. We will achieve this through the sustainable use and development of our land and resources and by creating a community that our people (our families, staff, customers and associates) are proud of.
Our goals
Te Pae Tawhiti will ensure we align our common energy, working together to achieve common goals:
To nurture and develop our taonga consistently with our tikanga;
To harness the talents of our people to ensure the sustainable growth of our taonga;
To ensure our people live well and are connected to our legacy and purpose;
To create an inspiring and innovative place where talented people want to live and work.
Guiding objectives
Our guiding objectives are broad to give us the freedom to create new and exciting ways of doing things, consistently with our values and tikanga. These two aspects are vital to our success – they underpin everything we do:
Development and Innovation
Identity and integrity

Our intergenerational outcomes
Hoea Ki Te Pae Tawhiti describes the paddles (enablers) to achieve our intergenerational goals. These hoe (paddles) set five outcomes with which we measure our performance and progress towards achieving the objectives outlined in Te Pae Tawhiti.
Papa Whenua
Ki a tātou, he taonga kāmehameha te whenua, he mea tuku iho nā ō tātou mātua tūpuna. Kua riro mā tātou tonu e tāwharau, e whakatupu, e whakaū hoki kia kore ai e ngaro. Mā te pēnei e noho aweawe nei tātou i te takiwā nei.
Land is a precious taonga passed onto us by our tūpuna. We are responsible for protecting it, growing it, and ensuring that it is never lost. As one of the largest land owners in our region, we will shape and influence its future direction.
Taiao
E ū pai ana tātou ki ā tātou tikanga, e āta hāpai ana i tō tātou kaitiakitanga, hei taute i ngā tino puna ora o ō tātou whenua, me ō tātou wai.
We hold fast to our customs and practices of kaitiakitanga, nurturing the life-sustaining forces of our land, water, and sea.
Whānau
E tuia ana tātou ki ā tātou kōrero onamata, me tā tātou kaupapa o anamata. E manawanui ana tātou ki te kawe tonu, ki te kōkiri tonu i ngā taonga kua tukuna mai e ō tātou tūpuna, me te whai wāhi mai o tangata kē ki tō tātou haerenga.
We are connected to our history and purpose. With open hearts and minds we carry forward the legacy of our tūpuna, creating the space for others to join and contribute to the journey.
Pūtea
E āta taurima ana tātou i ā tātou rawa, me te āta whakatupu hoki, kia taea tonuhia ai te tautīnei i ā tātou taonga tuku iho, me te whakatutuki hoki i ngā wawata o tō tātou whānau.
We are careful in safeguarding and growing our resources so that we are able to sustain our legacy and achieve the aspirations of our whānau.
Ngākau Hihiko
Ahakoa te tawhiti o te pae e whāia ana e tātou, he kaha, he whitawhita, he māia hoki tā tātou hiki i te hoe, e mau tonu ai te mana o ō tātou tūpuna, e rangatira ai, e angitū ai ō rātou uri, haere ake nei.
We bring strength, energy, and courage to our journey that stretches beyond the horizon. We paddle forward in our waka in a way that enhances the mana of our tūpuna, exploring new opportunities and achieving new levels of success.
