Te Ahiwaru Ahi Kaa Framework
A framework shaped by Te Ahiwaru’s aspirations.
Te Ahiwaru’s vision brings together the wellbeing of people, whenua and te taiao, grounded in mana motuhake and kaitiakitanga.
Te Ahiwaru led the framework; The Urbanist provided spatial and design support. The Ahi Kaa Framework sets out a spatial and cultural direction for the future of the rohe. It connects environmental restoration, cultural protection and opportunities for community and economic wellbeing.
Our contribution
The framework brings together spatial evidence, cultural heritage and community engagement to inform land-use and restoration opportunities.
It considers native vegetation, maara kai, stormwater retention, papakāinga resilience and educational and eco-tourism opportunities.
The value
A shared spatial direction supporting Te Ahiwaru’s long-term aspirations and future decisions about land, restoration and community wellbeing.
