Our Organisation
Our mandated representative voiceNgāti Koata Group
There are three organisations within the Ngāti Koata Group
- Ngāti Koata Trust
- Te Pātaka a Ngāti Koata Trust
- Koata Ltd
From the Trust offices in Whakatū (Nelson) our Ngāti Koata operations team develop programmes and initiatives that aim to support the strategic goals and aspirations of the iwi.
A particular focus is cultural revitalisation, which includes initiatives to reconnect members with their sense of identity and whakapapa, primarily through te reo.
Our activities are funded from revenue generated from assets that span fisheries and aquaculture, commercial property, financial investments and rents from Crown entities.
There is also a focused effort to seek funding from external entities to support these activities.
By preparing today for a bountiful tomorrow we will ensure our people are connected, united and culturally dynamic. That our places are healthy and sustainable for future generations and our taonga are safe and available for the advancement and sustenance of it’s people.
