Update on Taniwha Marae Usage (01.08.20)

Updated: Aug 2, 2020

E Ngaa Whaanau o Taniwha Marae,


The Trustees are happy to announce that after 4 months of closure,

Taniwha Marae is back open and available for use. There are a few

additional health and safety measures in place to manage risks

associated with Covid-19 (primarily good hygiene practice,  contact

tracing and encouraging those who are unwell or susceptible to ill

health to stay home). Again, thank you for your patience whanau.


Whanau using the marae will also need to appoint a coordinator to be

responsible for contact tracing and communicating and encouraging good

hygiene practices.


To book the marae contact Mario Patrick 021 027 04012 or Sam Toka 027 600 4227


As we all know a number of our whanau have passed while the marae has

been closed were not able to lay at the marae. A kawe mate will be

held at Taniwha Marae at 10am on Saturday 15th August for those who

passed before, during and since the lockdown. This date was chosen

because it is before koroneihana and provides whanau the opportunity

to come back to Taniwha before the kawe mate at Turangawaewae. More

information will be shared soon. But if you have any queries please

contact Uncle Sam.


Ngaa manaakitanga
