Our People - The Tarawera Awa Restoration Strategy Group

The Tarawera Awa Restoration Strategy Group (TARSG) arose as a direct outcome of Ngāti Rangitihi’s Te Tiriti o Waitangi settlement. The core purpose of the TARSG is to develop a restoration strategy within a co-governance framework. The TARSG is comprised of representatives from Te Mana o Ngāti Rangitihi Trust, Ngāti Mākino Iwi Authority, Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa, Ngāti Tūwharetoa (Bay of Plenty) Settlement Trust, Bay of Plenty Regional Council, Kawerau District Council, Rotorua Lakes Council and Whakatāne District Council.
