Strengthen your connection. Shape our future.
If you whakapapa to one or more of the 56 hapū represented by Te Arawa Lakes Trust, you and your whānau are encouraged to register as beneficiaries. Registration keeps you connected through important updates, hui, and opportunities to have your say in the Trust’s direction. You’ll also be eligible to vote in elections (if 18+), receive fishing licences, and access other benefits. It’s easy to register online, and you can include your tamariki too. Help us by encouraging others to register and by keeping your whānau details up to date.
