We have our very own Cultural Values Assessment (CVA) that tells our story about our historical connection to the Morere Hotsprings and surrounding whenua.

Purpose

This CVA:

• Identifies the key cultural values that Ngati Rakaipaaka and other overlapping interests have over the taonga site;
• Articulates how Ngati Rakaipaaka and other overlapping interests want to see the design of Morere Springs occur to ensure that their role as mana whenua is accurately and appropriately represented;
• Identifies their cultural and environmental perspectives on the proposed plan: and
• Identifies the process for further engagement in the development of the plan including their future participation and joint decision-making on any construction and funding phases that may occur.
