Whenua ownership and decision making
Pre-settlement land ownership
The rohe of Te Rarawa is estimated to cover over 340,000 acres or (136,000 ha). Some of this area is where our interests overlap with other Iwi. Only about a sixth of that area is still in Māori ownership under Te Ture Whenua Māori Act. Roughly half the land is owned privately, some of it by Te Rarawa whānau. Nearly a quarter is managed by the Department of Conservation, with another 12% owned by several Crown agencies.

Post-Settlement land ownership and decision making
Once settlement has been completed Te Rarawa and the other Te Hiku Iwi will have a say over considerably more of the whenua. Māori land ownership in the rohe will nearly double and Te Korowai co-governance framework will give us a say over the conservation area which makes up nearly a quarter of the rohe.
