Kia ora koutou, we have had a pretty quiet month on the marae. We hosted Ngāi Tahu Property for their October board meeting and hosted a small function that gave Ngāi Tahu Property directors an opportunity to meet with key relationship partners in the city, including the Dunedin City Council, Otago Polytechnic, University of Otago, and Port Otago.
Our māra kai is growing well. A working bee held in October saw the garden weeded, and new vegie seedlings planted for the summer growing season. Judging by the growth of the rhubarb in the couple of months since it’s been planted, we will be eating a lot of stewed rhubarb and rhubarb crumble next winter. Next on the māra kai agenda is the creation of a herb and salad garden alongside Hākuiao.

Peninsula A & P show and country fair
We will be running a stall at the Peninsula A & P show and country fair on 7 December, at the Portobello Domain.
This fun, community-focused day is a highlight on the local calendar, and we intend to have a fantastic day selling sausages, burgers, t-shirts, and cards – and generally enjoying our place within the wider peninsula community. If you’re around the peninsula on the day, call in and see us.
Treaty Festival 2014
Ōtākou will host the Ngāi Tahu Treaty Festival in 2014. Planning is underway and things may be slightly different to previous years. We are planning a market feel to the day, so if you or your organisation would like to run a stall, please let our office know.
We are aiming to have a variety of community groups and individuals holding stalls to either sell their wares or provide information on their group. Keep an eye on our e-pānui, as it will feature information for what looks to be an absolutely fantastic day.
Please note that Ōtākou will not provide a hakari on the day, instead, there will be a number of kai stalls, and spaces for whānau to enjoy picnic lunches they may wish to bring. If you wish to purchase kai or merchandise, please bring cash. If you would like to receive our weekly e-pānui, please email [email protected]
Gone no address
The office has a number of registered members for whom we no longer have current details.
Please look through the list below, and contact us if either you or a whānau member appear.
