Exciting times are ahead for us at Ōnuku. We have now secured all of the funding required for the redevelopment of our wharekai, which will incorporate a large commercial kitchen, dining space with capacity for 200 people and a conference facility.

Thank you to everyone who has put many hours into helping us reach this next stage.

Ōnuku Marae is now closed for all activity as construction is due to begin. We are aiming to re-open towards the beginning of 2015. Please visit our website for updates on our progress with this project at www.onuku.iwi.nz We will begin scheduling group bookings for noho marae again at the start of 2015.

We have now moved into our new headquarters – finally, a permanent office for us after the earthquakes. We have a boardroom, formal meeting room and lounge and office space for our operations manager. We look forward to hosting meetings with government departments, local council and committees, chairs forum and rūnanga.
