Waipapa Marae Trust Special General Meeting

Waipapa Marae Trust has a small window of opportunity to open the marae for a Special General Meeting for marae beneficiaries between the completion of Stage Two of the Infrastructure Rebuild, the week before the SGM, and the start of Stage Three at Ngā Tai Whakarongorua on-site, mid-August. 

The purpose of the SGM at Waipapa is to bring everyone back to the marae to:

1. Share a meal together 
2. Walk through the completion of Stage Two
3. Explain what is involved in Stage Three
4. Address issues raised about the proposal to purchase the property next door to Waipapa at 5491 Kawhia Road which is up for sale

We'll be indoors for the SGM and COVID-19 is on the rise again.  Social distancing and mask-wearing are important ways we can help limit the spread of COVID-19 among our beneficiaries attending the hui.  Kia mataara! Kia manawanui tātou ki a tātou anō!
