This grant supports both mana whenua (Māori tribal groups with authority over the land) and mātāwaka (Māori who live in the region but are not mana whenua) marae to achieve Marae Ora (Marae Wellbeing).
Marae Ora is one of the seven pou (outcome areas) of Tāmaki Ora, Auckland Council’s Māori Outcomes Strategy 2025–2027.
Marae are vibrant, resilient centres of Māori life - anchoring whānau, hapū and iwi, enabling papakāinga and supporting wider community connection, care and resilience.
