Hawea Historical Park (the ‘Park’) is co-owned through a 50/50 partnership between mana whenua of the hapū Ngāti Hawea, Ngāti Hori, and Ngāti Hinemoa who are represented through the four marae, Kohupātiki, Matahiwi, Ruahāpia, and Waipatu, and the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council.
To represent and acknowledge this unique concept and partnership, mana whenua fittingly bestowed the name Te Ahikāroa to this partnership and co-management entity.
Xyst worked with Te Ahikāroa to develop a Draft Co-Management Plan for the new regional park, Hawea Historical Park.
