PĀNUI — TAUMORE UPDATE 26th January 2026. Kia ora whānau, We want to acknowledge the patience shown by whānau and to let you know that a significant amount of mahi has been happening behind the scenes. The Taumore interim elected trustees / interim committee have continued to meet regularly while we await a decision from the Court in relation to the section 45 application that has been lodged. Our next whānau hui is scheduled for Sunday, 5 April 2026 at 12:00 pm At our last hui, whānau who attended were presented with a clear vision for Taumore, including: Proposed renovation and upgrade stages. Development concepts showing what Taumore could become A practical roadmap outlining how these stages could be achieved. A financial analysis to demonstrate how the vision could be supported sustainably While the hui intended to focus on future development and collective opportunity, it became clear that uncertainty and disagreement around governance roles took precedence and derailed the purpose of the hui. As a result, a decision was made to pause further hui temporarily. This was not taken lightly. The pause was necessary to prevent further division and to allow space for preparation, clarity, and alignment while the governance matter remains before the Court. During this period, the interim committee has continued preparing documentation, refining development roadmaps, and consolidating the work already presented to whānau. This includes the same vision, staging, and financial information discussed at the last hui. We acknowledge that not all commentary — particularly on social media — has reflected the full substance of what was presented or the mahi that has continued. This pānui is shared to provide clarity and reassurance that work has not stopped. It has also come to our attention that information relating to a separate whānau discussion was shared publicly in error. For clarity, the matters being discussed reflect the same concepts, staging, and development ideas that were presented openly to whānau at the last hui by the interim committee. This work did not arise independently and forms part of the planning, road-mapping, and analysis already shared and documented through the hui process. We consider it important to clarify this so that whānau understand the origin of the work and the context in which it was developed, particularly while governance matters remain before the Court. Further updates will be provided as we move closer to the April hui and as soon as there is direction from the Court. Nā mātou noa, Taumore Interim Committee
