Local Marae

Puketapu Grove, Lower Hutt

Opened in 1960 after years of fundraising, the Waiwhetū marae complex is in the heart of the Waiwhetū papakāinga - the oldest traditional communal occupation of Te Āti Awa people in Te Whanganui a Tara. Over the six following decades the marae complex has expanded with the creation of the Te Aroha Association clubrooms, Waiwhetū Hauora Medical Centre, Waiwhetū Gym, and the whare rūnanga, Te Māori.

Opened in 1933 under the leadership of Eruera Te Whiti-o-Rongomai Love and Thomas Heberley, and with the support of the Taranaki Trust Board, Te Tatau o Te Pō is the marae of the Ngāti Te Whiti and Ngāti Tāwhirikura hapū of Te Āti Awa. This was the first local modern marae complex built in the 20th century and takes the name of the original house at the Pito One pā during the era of Hōniana Te Puni Kōkopu. The land for the marae complex was provided for by cheiftainess Ripeka Love, mother of Eruera.
