Strategic Priorities
91Manaaki whānau - decision-making guided by question 'How does this uplift our whānau'
2Tautoko marae - anchor mana motuhake through marae development and support
3Tiaki taiao - shift from reacting to proactive environmental guardianship
4Pūtea ora - strengthen recurring cash earnings and manage costs prudently
5Kia Pai Te Noho by 2040 - viable Ngāti Rārua culture, economy, society and environment
6Financial resilience - lift recurring cash earnings, sharpen cost discipline, recycle capital from non-core assets
7One integrated hauora and social response - complete Te Hauora o Ngāti Rārua transition into TRoNR system
8Invest in unique capabilities - Mauri Ora (reo, tikanga, wānanga), Taiao (policy, monitoring), Hononga (Ka Uruora, scholarships), Ohaoha (blue economy)
9Marae at the centre - accelerate programmes at Hauhunga and Te Āwhina marae
Key Risks
9Economic environment - persistent inflation and softer asset valuations
Operating cash flows - outflows of $1.15 million requiring tight working capital management
Employee costs - 24% increase in wages and salaries, need for sustainable funding
Investment property revaluation - $0.93 million downward revaluation impacted results
Non-cash valuation movements - softness in asset revaluations across portfolio
Contract funding dependency - significant reliance on government contract and grant funding
Marae development financing - major capital programmes requiring external funding
Environmental compliance - government environmental reforms and resource consent processes
