At the recent CHA-Impact conference, George Mackie of Te Puni Kokiri, talked about the papakainga guide developed with the Hastings City Council to assist whanau through the process of papakainga development.

Recognising that papakainga development is a difficult and complex process for whanau, this guide clearly defines the process and provides whanau with a resource to support them to realise their papakainga aspirations. The guide is based on the Māori philosophical approach of whanau, whenua, whare and incorporates appropriate whakatauaki throughout.

Here is a link to the guide.
