Te Aka Raataa.

CLIENT | Eke Panuku Development

OUR ROLE | Integrated Design Management

Te Aka Raataa is embedded in Te Whakaoranga o te Puhinui, a multigenerational strategy to regenerate Te Puhinui catchment.

The site, known as Te Aka Raataa is the last remaining section of the Puhinui Stream corridor which isn’t publicly accessible. Therefore, Eke Panuku Development Auckland’s purchase of 7.6 hectares of land in Manurewa will enable the final piece of the puzzle to come together.

Done. is proud to be providing Integrated Design Management services to this awa (stream) and repo (wetland) regeneration kaupapa, working alongside Te Waiohua Iwi, Eke Panuku, Auckland Council – Healthy Waters, Boffa Miskell, Resilio Studio, WSP, URU Whakaaro, Empowered Communities and many, many others.

Te Ākitai Waiohua chair Karen Wilson has welcomed the purchase of the wetland by Eke Panuku, acknowledging its importance to the ancestral awa and as an integral part of the Puhinui river catchment.

“This is such an important next step towards the vision Te Waiohua has for restoring this space. Returning this land to its natural state of a healthy wetland and ngahere will help realise the intent of Te Whakaoranga o te Puhinui to return ora to the people and places of Te Puhinui. We look forward to working with the project partners and local communities to embed Waiohua maatauranga in the design of this future park and awa regeneration,” she said.
