TUA provided commercial and development advisory services for Ngāti Rēhia to support their long-term vision.
The Challenge:
Ngāti Rēhia sought to enhance their commercial and development capabilities to support the aspirations and wellbeing of their people. The challenge involved navigating complex land ownership structures, identifying viable economic development opportunities, and building internal capacity to manage and grow their assets sustainably. Ngāti Rēhia required expert advisory services to develop strategic plans, evaluate potential projects, and make informed decisions that would align with their cultural values and long-term vision.
The Solution:
TUA provided commercial and development advisory services, and contributed by working closely with the iwi to understand their goals, assess their existing assets and capabilities, and identify potential pathways for economic growth. TUA's approach involved providing strategic advice on land use and development, evaluating the feasibility of specific commercial ventures, and assisting with the development of business cases and funding applications. By offering tailored expertise and support, TUA helped Ngāti Rēhia to clarify their development priorities, build a stronger foundation for commercial success, and move forward with initiatives that will create lasting benefits for their community.
The Journey:
TUA's understanding of the unique context and aspirations of Māori iwi in New Zealand was crucial in providing culturally sensitive and relevant advice that respected Ngāti Rēhia's values and governance structures. This ensured that the advisory services were not only technically sound but also aligned with the iwi's long-term vision. Practical, hands-on support in translating strategic goals into actionable plans was provided, including assistance with site analysis, market research, and financial modeling, which empowered Ngāti Rēhia to make confident and informed development decisions.
