The Otamataha Trust administers property in Tauranga on behalf of Ngāti Tapu and Ngai Tamarawaho.

It was created on 6 June 2014 by The New Zealand Mission Trust (Otamataha) Empowering Act 2014.

This Act of Parliament also transferred ownership of property in Tauranga that had been lost to the hapū in 1838 to the Trust.

You can get the full story by watching the Parliament debates in the Resources page of this website.

Otamataha Trust

The board was originally composed of Anglican Church appointees, but since 1998 the trustees have been appointed by the hapū of Ngāti Tapu and Ngaitamarawaho. The trustees believe the 1896 trust and its deed are no longer appropriate, and have created the new Otamataha Trust, the beneficiaries of which are the hapū of Ngāti Tapu and Ngaitamarawaho.
