Our Plan
The Pourewa Valley Integrated Plan was adopted by the Ōrākei Local Board in September 2020. Individuals, local community groups and partners including Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei have co-designed the Plan, and have delegated administrative responsibilities for the Plan’s implementation to “Nga Kaitiaki Hapori o Pourewa – The Community Guardians of Pourewa”. Membership is comprised of individuals from these groups. The purpose of the Plan is to document and deliver a community-led vision for the long-term holistic management, ecological restoration and improvement of the Pourewa Valley
