Te Kapu O Waitaha Board is committed to transparency and reporting annually on how well we performed against our vision and deliverables outlined in the ten year Waitaha Strategy 2015 - 2025.

On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present the annual report for the second year since the establishment of the Trust. Our work over the past year is inspired by the essence and meaning of Te Kapu O Waitaha and our inter-connectedness – as an iwi.

The Board and staff acknowledge our koeke, and those who represent iwi interests, as having all contributed significantly to supporting the strategic activities of the Trusts’ ten year plan. It is through these relationships that we have been able to achieve more, a lot more quickly, make better use of resources, and more importantly begin to build a stronger platform moving forward.

From the Chairman

Revised Changes

In 2014, the iwi endorsed the direction for the establishment of the Waitaha Charitable Trust. The Board proposes a further sub-entity in the form of a company to progress and strengthen the economic base for Waitaha in 2016.

A constant theme with the evolvement of sub entities, has been the redesign of our business models,

and Trust accountabilities. These aspects have triggered a review of corporate structure enabling better alignment that take into account the sub-entity, Iwi Management plan, and future operating environment. In addition, the need for a result orient focus that is strongly prescriptive is important in order for iwi to identify how the Trust contributes to iwi aspirations. These are

accommodated particularly through the review of the Statement of Intent 2015 - 2020.

The decision to abandon the traditional hierarchical structure, and therefore flattening out effects will better represent the relationship of roles within and outside of the organisation while minimizing risk for ambiguity, and confusion.

Defining our purposes and accountabilities from our Corporate Structure

Te Kapu O Waitaha will become the Aministration hub for all the Waitaha sub entities and remain the link between the Trust and Waitaha

Waitaha Charitable Trust primary purpose is to distrubute allocations from Trust profits as stated in the Deed of Settlement and Trust Deed

A proposed Holdings Company will be responsible for generating and growing Waitaha economic wealth

12

Model of GovernanceThe board governs by a “governance policy” model, whereby it exists to form the accountability link between beneficiaries/iwi and Trust operations. As such the Board must exercise the authority of their role, to ensure beneficiaries/iwi has a voice. The governance policy model requires that the Board must control results in an affirmative and prescriptive way, including performance expectations expressed to the General Manager with respect to the board’s judgment in relation to appropriate benchmarks of corporate success from the beneficiary/iwi perspective

Governance

Governance Capability DevelopmentEach year the Board assigns a cyclic agenda, of which includes an allo-cation for the ongoing development of its members. Training is specifically targeted at improving governance capability that is relevant to our work, and what is required for the future. The Board underwent a series of Governance training last year, bothformal and informal.

Governance PortfolioPowers have been delegated to sub committee, who remain accountable to the full Board through reporting recommendations for decision.

Grant Sub CommitteeThe grant sub-committee consists of 4 Board members also belonging to Te Kapu O Waitaha. Their role

takes on the responsibility for future grant and funding applications. The committee has completed high level distribution policy, undertaken training for grant business standards and familiarity with the full process for grant administration and audit requirements. Education programmes will be supported through the returns generated from the Hakaraia

Education Endowment fund. The establishment of Waitaha Charitable Trust operations combined with return on investment, will enable an education allocation for December 2016.

ProportionalityGrant proportionality exists in Policy to accommodate flexibility against a set of priorities. Considerations are given to areas determined as high priority balanced with individual needs, and choice, with consideration also given to the more broader effects of socioeconomic and cultural change. It is for this reason that the Board will confirm what education purposes it will fund later in 2016.

Property Sub Committee The role of the property sub-committee is to investigate and make recommendations to the full Board concerning the use and opportunities that may exist for the commercial properties. The analysis will influence the type of economic structure in the future as a new and separate sub-entity.

Commercial Property Investment PortfolioTransferred sites by the Crown:• Hinepoto, Lenihan Drive, Te Puke 2.8 ha• Ohineangaanga corner of Jellicoe Street and Dunlop Road, Te Puke 0.514 ha

Commercial redress properties- 5 education properties (lands)

Te HouhouTe Houhou land is situated in both Papamoa East and Wairakei development areas. The property is currently leased to Baileys Farms and generates an income of $8,726 p.a. Outgoings are the responsibility of the lessee releasing the Trust from land and water rates expense. The current lease is by way of licence to occupy and is purposefully reviewed on an annual basis enabling efficient response to a future economic direction by the Board. As part of the plan to help combat New Zealand’s housing crisis, the Tauranga City Council Housing Accord aims to accelerate delivery of housing across the Papamoa East, Wairakei, and Te Tumu land blocks.

Through the accord, Special Housing Areas (SHAs) were identified for fast-track development. Te Houhou is situated in the (SHA) area, and while we have not specifically signed up to the accord, Te Houhou lands registered in the accord affords a level of flexibility to be included.

The Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas (HASHA) legislation provides for reduced compliances within the Council consenting process.

Commercial Feasibility StudyIn August 2015, The Property Group was commissioned to undertake a feasibility study for the northern proportion being 10.5 ha on Te Houhou land. The scope of the feasibility focused on best economic return with possibilities of land retention. The study highlighted that while land retention was a priority, long term lease options were

Te Houhou - Papamoa uban development zone

isolated to a specific target sector impacting on marketability, slowing economic gains, and would not compete favourably in a market where home ownership remains sought after by average kiwi families. The study further highlighted the cost involved in development, however provided low profit returns by Board expectations therefore did not appear a strong enough case to pursue at that time.

The sub-committee continues to seek out economic opportunities as a high priority on the 2016 agenda.

Hinepoto - Lenihan DriveThe sub-committee has received interest from two developers in the course of the year. Discussions included a mix of sale and or joint venture propositioning for residential development.

The Board did not make any decisions around either until such time as a more “wholesale” approach can be established in the planning for all commercial property assets. The property is a Grade 2 listing. This has limitations in terms of development, and furthermore high insurance costs without ever achieving full replacement value.

Ohineangaanga – Dunlop RoadThe Ohineanaanga property is home to the Te Kapu O Waitaha Offices. Last year the Board allocat-ed a capital budget of $ 300,000 for ensuring asset protection.

Response to Social HousingOn 6 May 2015, Ministers announced Tauranga and Invercargill as the preferred regions for an initial set of social housing transfers. Iwi leaders were invited to a round of

consultations where the programme for social housing reform was explained. Our own analysis concluded that;• Compliance and regulatory matters were the responsibility of multi-agencies• Housing stock were to be sold at market prices, no figures could be provided• No guarantees of tenant referral due to a matching system of tenant and type of accommodation• Limitations in on-selling property• State of properties and on-going maintenance not cost effective against income revenue over the long term

The Board concluded that registering as a community housing provider and participating in the social housing sector presented more negatives than positives. Our long term view is better served by enhancing capability toward home ownership.

Koeke relationship with BoardThe Board highly regards the role of the koeke in relation to cultural and historical knowledge sharing across a range of Trust business. Our relationship with koeke is an important extension in our ability to ensure the way in which we approach significant decisions upholds the cultural integrity. This year the Board invited and includes koeke as standing agenda item. The Board will continue and maintain this critical relationship.

Future outlookAs we enter into the third year of 2016, the Trust makes it a priority in the following areas;• establishment of a holdings company

• investing in our people and their futures through Education and training• investment and risk review• increase our capacity and iwi capability• formalize succession planning across operations• centralizing Waitaha services• development of a digital strategy• report regularly to the iwi

The year is marked by the continued unity and cohesion of Trust work complimentary to the efforts of our selected and elected iwi representations. Such importance recognizes whole heartedly that everyone has a role to play in the future of Waitaha, our people, and not least of all keeps our past present as we continue to build our futures.

Board and staffI thank fellow board members and staff for their considered deliberations and commitment throughout the year.Our focus is uncompromisingly on achieving positive outcomes over the long term.

There are two things I look forward to at the end of the year. One is that we get to reflect and report on our years efforts to the iwi, and secondly the audit on how well we performed against the background of our strategic objectives.

This year I am reporting to you on the first year of a ten year strategy. This means that with each year, similar to whakapapa we must plan and deliver layer by layer in order to reach the sum of whole parts.

The Board set a number of key priorities last year. One of which was to establish the Waitaha Charitable Trust so that it is fully operational by 2015. The achievement of this marks an important milestone, enabling the Trust to now execute the long awaited grant distributions planned for 2016. Complimentary to this was the accounting of the endowment funds, as originating within the Deed of Settlement, the Charities Commission regulations, and finally the development of policy and business standards to ensure compliance. Further to this, we undertook a review of the Statement of Intent adding a more prescriptive plan taking into consideration key themes from the Waitaha Iwi Management Plan, in particular the cultural and education elements contained therein.

We are conscientious in our responsibility to provide benefit to our registered members and iwi as a whole. While we ordinarily default our thinking that benefit is for the most part measured in the level of financial contribution, it also includes concepts such as a thriving culture, a healthy environment, accessibility to services and information to lead healthy lifestyles of choice, to the level of iwi engagement and participation in the

General Manager’s reportlocal government and central government space, including the private sector. Such outcomes are not achieved by working in isolation to everything and everyone else. If that were the case we would be emphasising a daily prayer “e te Atua me torona tou ringa, hei pou mo matou, kororia tou ingoa tapu Amine!”. Instead, our success is attributed to the consistent support of nga koeke, the history project team, and Waitaha iwi representations who all work for the common cause in matters affecting Waitaha. Their input and guidance reinforces the need for knowledge transfer, and succession planning in order to avoid a state of cultural suspension and vulnerability in the future. The opportunities to address that matter are supported by a future Te Reo wananga, the continuance of bi-monthly hui-a-iwi, regular hui with nga koeke, the future completion of our written history, but more importantly an appetite for cultural interest and leadership.

Looking aheadWe must remain true to those things so that we do not lose sight of why we are here, how we must conduct our work, and what it is that we must achieve over the next ten years.

Dedicated resourcingIn the short term we will concentrate on dedicating resource to the education strategy toward strengthening the future of nga tamariki mokopuna.

Shifting the political paradigmWe will continue to solidify our iwi agenda by ensuring our visibility and iwi position is well represented within the political arena, and that we are invited to do so by cultural and legislated right.

ChallengesThe establishment of the commercial entity in 2016 will challenge the balancing of commerce with cultural views. Despite this, it is necessary, and not insurmountable if we implement a framework that suggests better opportunities lie elsewhere with under-performing assets and where costs outweigh benefit. Key to this will be the challenge of opportunistic timing, a solid investment framework, and the specialisation in Director capability.

Futures focusWe continue to look forward, and are motivated by the challenges that lie ahead, because success no matter how big or small it is for the people of Waitaha and that is what surely matters to us all.

A final note, on behalf of management and staff we thank the Board, our koeke and whanau for their continued support throughout the year.

No reira, merikirihimete me te tau hou ki a koutou katoa.

Our aim is..To strenghten our political

position for the protection

of culutral and

environmental values

Waahi tapu registered by Waitaha.Heritage New Zealand has approved the application by Waitaha for registrering the ancient pa sites located on the Papamoa hills. This formalises a written extension of our cultural estate re-inforcing our commitment to ensuring the history and cultural associations of Waitaha to their ancestral lands remain an everlasting record within the public domain.

This year we have gained momentum from strengthening our relationship with Doc.

We initiated quarterly meetings with the Regional Director and senior staff with a keen focus on promoting the Treaty Settlement obligation for Waitaha input to the DOC annual regional management plan. Since then we have been asked to provide information for public signage to be established with regards to our cultural association to Otawa and the ancient corridor connecting our ancestral mountain.

We will work with the History team, and

koeke to realise public signage for Otawa. This is another demonstration of protecting our significant sites promoted thorough public awareness and appreciation of our connections to our ancestral lands and all natural and spiritual residents within it.

Waitaha names “Otawa Forest Sanctuary”The upper catchment of Otawa is home to the ancient and endangered Otawa frog scientifically named the Hotchstetter frog. As part of a restoration programme for Pakis quarry site, Waitaha endorsed the re-designation of the area from conservation to a formal Sanctuary status. The name given by nga koeke is “Otawa Forest Sanctuary”. If approved, the Act will prevent any future mining that might otherwise have been considered.

“We want to maintain the quality of the natural world…”.

Waitaha Iwi Management Plan 2014

We have determined a stronger position on cultural earthworks monitoring.The Trust has stated our position to ALL developers who seek Te Kapu O Waitaha endorsement to resource consents. We have stated that Craig Watson is to be included in their documentation as the mandated iwi representative for cultural earth works montioring for Waitaha. This motivation is to ensure that Waitaha history and connection to the land is recognized, and therefore the natural kaitiaki responsive to cultural earthworks monitoring in the Wairakei and Papamoa urban development areas.We have agreement by Council for Craig to do the cultural monitoring for phase two of the Okuroa Drive development.

19

We continue to push for environmental accountability and exercise our Statutory Recognition in the political space. This year we were notified by Council and DOC; a total of 109 resource consent and 5 permit applications.

We said NO to consent renewals for further water take from the Ohineanaanga following reports of existing over water allocation and the disastrous effects from a cultural perspective.

We said NO to beehives being placed in the vicinity of Otawa. This is due to problematic issues of cross pollination between native and non-native plants.

We said NO to Asian researchers seeking a permit to undertake a whale study in Tauranga Moana waters.

We said NO to resource consent renewals where storm water discharge managemant did not meet the requirements of previous consents with no remedial actions.

We said EXCLUSION of blue nose dolphins for marine viewing permit for tourist company, due to the decline of bluenose in our region.

We said YES to a study of Toutouwai in the Otanewainuku area. Waitaha sought agreement to become involved in the study. Permit has been granted for 2016.

Our environmental relationships

Whakairinga kõrero wãnangaDept. of Conservation took up the opportunity to learn and understand their role in relation to “Te Whakairinga korero” as a result of the Treaty Settlement Claim. In May 2015, koeke volunteered their time to 16 Regional staff members and their Director supporting the “whakairinga korero” wananga. As a result, Te Kapu O Waitaha sat on the interview panel for the appointment of a new Iwi relationship Manager who will be working in our region. In addition, all permits are consulted on, and iwi consultation with Waitaha has been added to their approval process for any environmental projects within our area of interest. Waitaha will also receive copies of research, and an

including whakairinga korero to be applied in the care

and protection of our lands and waterways”

Waitaha Iwi Management Plan 2014

annual brief on the health of our environment. We continue to have input to regional plans.

We have improved our political position significantly in the last two years. Examples of this is demonstrated clearly in the number of resource consent notifications by council to Te Kapu O Waitaha. We have also been invited to provide feedback on some of the bigger issues around water management, and allocations. We have been appointed by council to represent Waitaha on water issues as a member of the Kaituna/Maketu community water group.

We have also, presented to the Regional Council the Waitaha Iwi

Management Plan, provided a cultural assessment for the Comprehensive Papamoa Storm water management plan and Resource Consent variation.

The establishment of an iwi environmental komiti has allowed us to work more cohesively with

Waitaha environmental representatives.

This has added a powerful potency of consistent political positioning

by Waitaha as a unified whole.

In addition we have been able to connect with what each sector representing Waitaha interests is doing. In this way we have been able to identify a more collective approach to common agenda, and appreciate the collective efforts by all within the iwi.

Te Kapu O Waitaha has now included all Waitaha report information in the monthly panui, website and facebook communications.

It is evident that despite poor attendance at the monthly hui, the website Panui page, and posts to Face Book have the highest rate of views and

Ko Te Arangi Anasta toku ingoa, ko Te Arawa me Ngai Tuhoe oku iwi. I have the ultimate responsibility for the management of the iwi data base records. This involves the administering of the database, policy development, securities, and systems engineering.I manage two sets of database; being adult registrations and mokopuna under the age of 18 years. The Board approved a new policy this year whereby mokopuna turning the age of 18 years automatically graduate to the adult register without the need to duplicate information that was already provided on their parents registration record. Those registered in this way have 10 days grace to indicate whether or not they wish to remain on the iwi database. To date 94 mokopuna who have turned 18 in the past 12 months, 100% remained on the adult register.

This year the current registration form was reviewed to focus on easing burden on our registered members. The revised registration form now includes a consent section enabling us to share an approved record with Te Arawa Fisheries. This means that people will not have to provide information twice if they wish to apply for tertiary grants through the Te Arawa Fisheries, which Waitaha whanau are entitled to apply for.

Iwi Register A huge 91% of our adult registered members were born in the techno age. Evidence shows that 85% of New Zealand population by the age of 10 either have a cell phone or want one for Christmas. Societal preferences are changing to “lighter , faster and mobile” as the norm. It is for this reason that we have introduced online registrations through the website. In addition I am also investigating a Te Kapu O Waitaha mobile APP as part of our digital strategy.

Keeping current records is like “keeping up with the Kardashians” It is a constant challenge. We urge whanau to update your record if you have moved, or changed contact details, and or circumstance. This can be done on www.waitaha-iwi.org.nz , email or phone.

I take this opportunity to thank pãpa Tame for his help with validations concerning whakapapa over the year.I also thank Nan - our Te Arawa Fisheries delegate and Shane Heremia General Manager for Te Arawa Fisheries, in supporting a more seamless process for Waitaha to access Te Arawa Fisheries scholarships.

The Board allocated funds toward supporting the capability development of Waitaha youth. The cadetship is offered every two years, and is a paid work based learning programme .

Skye Whareaorere was the first recipient of the programme which commenced in October 2014.

The success of the programme is demonstrated by the fact that Skye was able to skip a level due to her learning with Te Kapu O Waitaha when she enrolled for business administration study in Waikato commencing next year.

We wish her well in the future and look forward to supporting more young people in the next intakefor 2017.

Revised SOI to align to TKOW and Waitaha Iwi Management Plan 2014.The Statement of Intent was reviewed in 2015, making additional amendments that recognized the views in the Waitaha Iwi Management Plan. A more prescriptive focus was on the “what” and “how” taking into consideration the objectives set out in the Te Kapu O Waitaha Strategic Plan 2015 -2025. The revised SOI was approved by the Board for implementation in the next fiscal year.

Establishing the WaitahaCharitable TrustIt has taken a solid 12 months to establish the Charitable Trust. The complexities involved compliances with multiple ACTS, and constitutions. Those legislations dictated the financial structures, administration and accountabilities.

The Trust accounts for one Endowment and two funds all of which are administered separately.Each of the endowments is assigned a specific purpose according to the DOS. The SOI Education Plan will be supported through the Hakaraia Education Endowment, with a future dedicated resource to leading the strategy. This appointment will occur in 2016. Held on Trust is also the Waitaha History Endowment. Current contracts are administered through Waitaha Charitable Trust. The History project kaupapa exists in both the Te Kapu O Waitaha Strategy, and the Waitaha Charitable Trust SOI.

Support to programmes and distributions will be the main function of the Charitable Trust over the next five years.

Structure and financeWith the establishment of the Waitaha Charitable Trust, came a new financial structure for Te Kapu O Waitaha.

The financial mixed model arrange-ment of shared services and fees, was introduced last year between TKOW and the Waitaha Charitable Trust (WCT). This was an effort to promote the allocation of resources for the establishment and ongoing administration for the Charitable Trust by TKOW. The underlying principle of the related party arrangement is that TKOW will bear overhead costs however recover costs for services where it is efficient and effective to do so, and where those services are necessary for the achievement of reg-ulated compliance and Trust objec-tives. In the short to medium term the aim is to reduce the burden of service recoveries to a zero $ fee.

SummaryThe closing market value of the portfolio as at 30th June 2015 was $3,276,669.69. The estimated gross income for the next 12 months is$163,823.92, which equates to an annual yield of 5.06 %.

SIPO Summary The SIPO is designed to operate consistently with the strategic goals of the Trust. It provides the governance structure to assess, manage and protect the investment requirements of the Trust and to achieve the greatest level of commercial return so as to improve the cultural, environmental, and economic potential for Waitaha.

Economic Drivers Markets are becoming more volatile, largely due to China’s slowdown. China has recently provided stimulus and markets have recovered somewhat. US growths remain on track and looks like a market to add exposure to the portfolio. $NZD has slowed due to lower commodity prices, although the low $NZD will assist exporters. It is expected that the dairy prices to recover to average levels over the next 2-3 years, food remains in demand globally.

Good quality equities are attractive, and interest rates are expected to reduce and remain low for 2 years.

Strategic Priorities/Future Investment Priorities Where applicable the trust will promote self-management, self–sufficiency and economic independence for Waitaha. We will do this by building a substantial portfolio of sustainable investments by 2025, diversified by industry and geography, which collectively provide Waitaha with meaningful opportunities.

Investment Targets • Preserve and grow wealth over the long term• Professional management and monitoring of investment performance• Manage cash flow as required, to provide income to the Trust• Provide level of diversification to meet Trust objectives• Consider economic, cultural, social and environmental impacts when making investments

Investment Portfolio

The portfolio is to provide a moderate level of growth over the long term, with the aim being to protect the capital value from being eroded by inflation and provide growth.

The risk return profile for this portfolio is indicative of a balanced portfolio. The primary objective of the portfolio is typically to maximise the total return subject to the balanced risk profile over the medium to long term, and to the risk limitations and asset allocation put in place by the Trust.

The target portfolio contains 50% high quality equities and 50% fixed interest and cash. The fixed interest

30

component is designed to provide the Trust with security of capital and a stable fixed income. The equity portion of the portfolio is designed to provide the trust with income as well as capital growth. The investmenttime-frame is medium to long term(5 years plus).

Investment Performance Currently there is 59% in liquid funds. Craig Investments Partners in-line with our SIPO will invest the liquid funds to meet the Balanced Portfolio over time. The primary objective of the portfolio is to maximise the total return in line with the balanced risk portfolio over the medium to long term (5 years) and to the risk limitations and asset allocation put in place.

Purpose of the rolling out over-timeCraig Investments Partners take time to carefully research the market and this all takes time to ensure that they are making sound financial decisions in-line with the balanced portfolio in place. Factors considered against the portfolio objectives; liquidity and price, dividend yields and growth prospects.

The Waitaha Charitable Trust was set up as the Main operating account for three funds.

• Social Endowment• Hakaraia Endowment• History Endowment

The Social and History funds were transferred into the Charitable Trust in 2015. This is noted in the audited statements as Resettled Funds.

The Hakaraia Endowment was held in Trust by Te Kapu O Waitaha and transferred to the Charitable Trust in September 2015. This is noted as a loan to the Charitable Trust and is standard accounting practise.

In accordance with the Deed of Settlement, the Endowments are accounted for separately, and have their own unique chart of accounts.

The reporting of the Statement of annual accounts is not as straight forward as we would have liked. To

Summaryexplain, the resettled funds do not differentiate from principle of the endowments with interest accumulated through the Trustee decisions to invest those funds prior to transfer. It is important that we highlight this to explain clearly that the decision by the Board to approve establishment costs, and administration services was based on the principle that, where possible those expenses were covered by interest absorbed in re-settled funds.Additionally, the resettlement funds also absorbed funds that would have otherwise belonged to the Waitaha Trust Mains Account, being the residual amount $74,701.31 OTS fund. We report with confidence therefore that the deficit $12, 322 is sufficiently covered through the balance sheet, where the OTS funds are accounted for (resettled fund).

COOKSON FORBES & ASSOCIATESCHARTERED ACCOUNTANTSINDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Trustees of Te Kapu O Waitaha Trust

Report on the Financial StatementsWe have audited the financial statements of Te Kapu o Waitaha Trust on pages 4 to 12. The financial statements comprise the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015 and the statements of financial performance and movements in equity for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Trustees’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements The trustees are responsible for the preparation of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand and that give a true and fair view of the matters to which they relate, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view of the matters to which they relate in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. We have no other relationship with or interest in the Trust.

IndependenceWe have complied with the independence requirements of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants in conducting the Audit. We have no other relationship with or interest in Te Kapu o Waitaha Trust.

Opinion In our opinion the financial statements of Te Kapu o Waitaha on pages 4 to 12:• Comply with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand;• Give a true and fair view of the financial position of the trust as at 30 June 2015 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date.• Comply with the reporting and audit requirements as set out in paragraph 9 of the Trust Charter.

Other Matter – Basis of Valuation for Commercial Redress PropertiesWe refer to note 10 page 12 confirming that the commercial redress properties were settled on the Trust at an agreed transfer value of $4,885,000. In the 2014 year, the first year of reporting, all properties, with the exception of the “schools”, were valued by registered valuer Telfer Young. In the current 2015 financial year all properties including the schools have been valued at quotable value. The effect is an increase in the commercial redress property revaluation reserve as reported at note 9 on page 12. We agree with this basis of valuation for reporting purposes.

COOKSON FORBES & ASSOCIATESCHARTERED ACCOUNTANTSINDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Trustees of Waitaha Charitable Trust

Report on the Financial StatementsWe have audited the financial statements of Waitaha Charitable Trust on pages 4 to 10. The financial statements comprise the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015 and the statement of financial performance, statements of financial performance – other contracts and statement of movements in equity for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Trustees’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements The trustees are responsible for the preparation of these financial statements which comply with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand and that give a true and fair view of the matters to which they relate, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

61

Item 12 General Business :The GM explained that due to the increased volume of material governing the 2 entities (TKOW & WCT), that the beneficiaries approve an increase of Board meeting fee from $200 to $240

Vervice Punohu McCausland [518]: “What I wanted to raise in General Business may affect this topic. It is about the various organisation committees that Waitaha had. WRT that has moved on. Now Waitaha, Formalising it as an iwi authority, we are an authority with a clear job to do. It is still called Te Kapu o Waitaha and still referred to as the PSGE. What we are interested in and we have been thinking about long and hard, is that there are iwi, and then you have TKOW. So we want to do is raise the status of TKOW currently and formalise it and iwi mandate it as that. However, we are not going to do that today, but I do want to move a motion that we consider that for another time”.

“The name Te Kapu O Waitaha was to whakakotahi a Waitaha. What needs to be considered, you heard Vivienne giving a GM

report, and she has managed to do all that since they have become TKOW, she operates with a lean staff, they cannot get to every hui, the work is increasing and there is opportunity everyday for commercial investment. The only part that has not been developed, is our commercial investment arm, that’s the side our trust must really consider. It is telling us we have to move in that direction. Social economic is the whanau and iwi stuff and then the political that takes time, you will have meetings and no outcomes. We need special people to look at this. We need to seriously consider that from this meeting. It will be a change in the trust deed possibly we need to review that, like Frank said we have to find other ways. Charitable and Social arms are getting started however, much of what we have heard today is about the Charitable Trust. The commercial arm needs to be looked at. This may even increase your work and therefore this may increase your fee to more then $40 extra. We need a timeframe and a schedule that you can consider. So that’s my take and what I would like to leave on the table”.

Resolution: Move to revisit the consideration toward mandating Te Kapu O Waitaha as an Iwi Authority. Moved: V.P McCausland [518] Second: Maru Tapsell [0631] Against: 0 Carried

No further discussion from the floor

Resolution: Trustee remuneration approved at $240 per meeting Moved: V.P McCausland [518] Second: Maru Tapsell [0631] Against: 0 Carried

Item 13 Marae Insurance:The Chair [024]; opened the floor for discussion.

The GM announced the resolution approved in principle by the Board;to provide a perpetual grant (koha aroha con-tribution)of $10k toward the Marae Insurance in the context of the marae being the source of learning and education. In addition the Board would like the marae Trustees to consider using the Fisheries fund to support the remaining balance.

The GM adds, that a single education grant benefits the individual, however a grant to pre-serve the education provided through the Marae benefits 100% Waitaha.

The Chair [024]; advised that the Board is open to the iwi views on this matter.

Maru Tapsell [0631]: If you are taking mon-ey out of education and giving it as koha, that would mean to validate why your giving it. The reason is: pays tribute to the dead and others coming. It is your museum and also is your parliament so all these contributions could be tax exempted. It’s lining all those things up and saying this is the kaupapa of the marae. You are contributing to the community.

N.Ted Whare [1038]: Suggested that the Board provide a grant to satisfy the full Insurance cost of the marae each year eliminating this particu-lar burden from the Trustees

Mackie Watson [1014]: Reported that the Fisheries funds was used to support the on-going maintenance of the marae. Raising funds, and running raffles is challenging and no longer suffice in meeting the high costs to run the marae. TKOW hui provides money that we could use for the insurance, we were once behind 3 months and had to get it paid.

Tame McCausland [517]: Emphasizes that fundraising is impossible, the people remain poor, it is the Boards role to provide benefit, in his view he does not see any reason as to why the Board cannot provide for the Insurance and therefore benefit the people

Board leaves hui for in committee dicsussion

Board re-convenes the hui:

The Chair [024]; announces the Board decision by way of the following resolution

Resolution: The Board agrees to: (a) approve Hei Marae Trust a grant (recognizing that Hei Marae is Waitaha education), (b) and the grant will be equivalent to the full amount of the A Hei Marae insurance (c) and that any subsequent grant of same is to be reviewed at each AGM following. Moved: Frank Grant [0241] Second: Hekenui Karaka [0384] Against: 0 Carried

63

V.P McCausland [518] acknowledges the Board decision and states that the committee are looking at a whole Te Arawa approach to Marae Insurance in the hope of leveraging lower cost in the future

No further discussion on this matter

In closing the Chair thanks the following and acknowledges that he may have missed many more that were involved over the past year;

Nga koeke, Maru Tapsell, Marae Committee for hosting all Trust meetings, Trust Advisors Mere George, Helen Nathan, Tom Davies of Craigs Investment Partners , to the whanau that helped with all hui, mentioned were Matewai Karaka, Doug Tamiana, Sandra Potaka, and others. The Board members who have done a sterling job over the last year also to the staff on the work you have produced.

Draw winners: Bernard, Matewai, Mackie, Tame McCausland, Archie Grant, Frank Grant, Dorothy Watson, Roddy Tamihana, Tapua Te Amo, Paul Grant.
