Honouring the cultural significance of the awa
The river mouth area, including Pilot Hill, holds deep cultural, spiritual and ancestral significance for mana whenua and for the wider Wairoa community. This is central to how we are approaching the project.
Cultural kōrero are underway, and engagement with hapū and whānau who hold connections to the lower awa and river mouth has begun.
These conversations are only the beginning, and they will be an important part of shaping and guiding how the project progresses.
