On behalf of Ngāti Mākino Iwi Authority, we would like to thank the following for making our "Ngāti Mākino Hauora Day" a success. Despite the light rain that greeted us in the morning, we were met by our kaumatua, kuia, pakeke, tamariki and mokopuna who made our day special! Our presenters engaged really well and talked about a range of issues such as gut health; mental health and wellbeing; growing vegetables using natural resources' and understanding the importance of the maramataka and the cyclical rhythms that influence our health and wellbeing and the environment that supports our survival. Our kaumatua and kuia were treated with mirimiri and rongoā therapy while our tamariki and mokopuna were given the opportunity to have their faces painted, indulge in ice-cream and play on the Bouncy Castle

Trustee Election 2020Tena koutou,
Have you received your voting pack yet? If you haven't received your voting pack please phone Nero on 07 348 3599 or email him at nero@gha.co.nz to;
Iwi members overseas We appreciate you may encounter some issues with mail overseas. To provide another solution for you to send your voting packs to the returning officer you are able to scan and email your completed voting forms to nero@gha.co.nz You are still able to send your voting forms using the return envelope provided in your voting pack and Attention it to Glenn Hawkins at GHA, PO Box 1712, ROTORUA.Any queries relating to the election process and voting forms please contact Nero on 07 348 3599 or email him on nero@gha.co.nz Ngāti Mākino Iwi Authority Updated on Wednesday 14 October 2020

TRUSTEE ELECTION 2020The Returning Officer A contestable tender process was undertaken and Glenn Hawkins emerged as the preferred provider. Last year's Casual election saw Deloittes appointed as Returning Officer. The appointment of a Returning Officer ensures independent oversight of the elections. Since September 25 the Trustee Election has been independently managed by the Returning Officer Distribution of voting forms The Returning Officer is responsible for the distribution of the voting forms. Should voting forms be distributed independently to persons that are already registered and have received a voting pack, this may result in two voting forms being submitted. Should two voting forms be received from the same registered member, then both voting papers will be deemed invalid and not be counted in the election. The best approach would be for those registered members to call into the GHA office Level 1, 1108 Fenton Street, Rotorua or phone 07 348 3599 or email nero@gha.co.nz Under age members receiving voting packs The Returning Officer had addressed this issue previously; It has come to our attention that voting packs have been inadvertently sent to some registered members under the age of 18. Under the rules of the Trust Deed, only adult registered members are eligible to vote. Therefore, please ignore the voting pack if you are not a registered adult member. Any votes received from members under the age of 18 will be declared invalid.
While not ideal, the Returning Officer is currently tracking members to understand how this happened and how to rectify it. Remembering that the current register requires members to keep their details updated. Partners of members receiving voting packs who don’t whakapapa to Makino Formerly public event registration was an avenue by which non Mākino partners or whānau were able to join the register. This is no longer possible. However, as with underage members non Mākino partners will be excluded from voting. This year a folder has been created at the advocacy of iwi members who sought the inclusion of partners so that partners are eligible to attend events or register for various Ngāti Mākino programmes, however this is recorded independent of the main register meaning non Mākino partners are NOT registered. Online voting The current software package functionality has limited capacity and does not reach the vast majority of registered members. Online voting does come at a cost, and at last year's casual election only 40 people used this facility, so this was weighed up when the decision was made. We are transitioning to a new software package that will provide better functionality and better member access which will mean voting will be secure, easier and cost effective.

COVID-19 Update as at 1.00pm on 12 August 2020Kia ora e te whānau, A quick update following the Prime Minister’s press conference just now. A whānau in Auckland tested positive for COVID-19 – four of the family have now tested positive. They are not connected to overseas travel or the managed isolation or quarantine sites and this is considered community transmission. As a result, Auckland has moved to Level 3 at midday today until midnight on Friday night. You can refresh you memory about the Alert Levels here The rest of Aotearoa – including the Te Arawa rohe – has moved to Level 2 at midday today until midnight on Friday night.
Regardless, it is critical that we all take appropriate precautions to keep ourselves, our whānau and our community safe.
Keep your distance from other people in public
It is really important that we are all fully informed and well prepared, but please don’t panic whānau Be kind and look after one another – he waka eke noa. Thank you to Te Arawa COVID-19 for the regular updates. To keep up to date with Te Arawa COVID-19 whanau please like and follow their page as well https://www.facebook.com/TeArawaCOVID19

ROTOITI - First Division Champion Cup Winners for Queenstown 2019
All the efforts and preparation to finally arrive in Queenstown paid off. To see the kids' faces being at an airport, to watching them go through the process of checking out, from lift-off to being in a place outside their comfort zones was heart-warming. We farewelled two of our Bay of Plenty reps before the starting of the tournament with a hearty haka that left a few tears from our boys to see their brothers leave, so we played for them.
To know we had the support of our families, friends, organisations and Iwi trusts was a bonus. We had many compliments from Air New Zealand attendants, people from all walks of life, on how the kids carried themselves in public with politeness and respect. We represented the club and our sponsors with pride and respect which flowed through our entire tour.
We can't thank you enough for the support.
