Update for Rural Landowners in Auckland 🌿 Rural properties with multiple pockets of Significant Ecological Areas (SEAs) may now qualify for subdivision. A recent Environment Court ruling has created new subdivision opportunities for rural landowners. The December 2024 decision upheld the Unitary Plan rules as written, allowing multiple separate (non-contiguous) Significant Ecological Areas (SEAs) of protected land to be combined to meet the thresholds required for subdivision or transferable titles.

Cato Bolam is honoured to partner with Te Kawerau ā Maki on this outstanding and transformative project: Te Henga Kāinga Whakahirahira. The development will establish a new eco-marae and papakāinga housing on ancestral lands at Te Henga in the Waitākere Ranges. Additional elements, such as a whakairo shed and spaces for cultural tourism, will establish it as a vibrant, multifunctional hub. Edward Ashby, CEO of Te Kawerau Iwi Tiaki Trust, shares: “Te Kawerau ā Maki are the only iwi in the Auckland region without a marae and papakāinga. This project is about rebuilding our tūrangawaewae (place to stand), bringing our people home, and laying a strong foundation to safeguard our culture and wellbeing for future generations. Located in the heartland of the Waitākere Ranges, the project is built around the concept of kaitiakitanga and ecological sustainability while offering opportunities to engage with our manuhiri (community and visitors).” This legacy project focuses on ecological sustainability and creating a foundation for cultural regeneration and community connection for generations to come.
