General manager Maria Te Kanawa says there’s a pressing need for affordable housing and long-term co-investment to address multigenerational inequalities.
She says the iwi built a strong relationship with South Waikato District Council through the Waikato River Settlement process.
“What I think has changed and maybe in particular for the South Waikato District Council is they genuinely want to partner with us and not tick a box,” Ms Te Kanawa says
Raukawa, council, community and business representatives are heading to Parliament on Wednesday to state their case for economic development for the region.
