Patuharakeke are a composite hapū descended from most major iwi groups in the north. These include Ngati Wai, Ngapuhi nui tonu, Ngati Whatua and Te Uri o Hau. We affiliate to a very large number of hapu including Te Uriroroi, Te Koiwi, Te Akitai, Ngati Hau, Ngati Korora, Ngati Taka, Ngati Hine, Te Waiariki, Te Parawhau and many others.
Located on the south side of the Whangarei Harbour, the Patuharakeke rohe boundary stretches on the seaward side, including foreshore and seabed, from a point at the north of Mangawhai Heads to the entrance of the Mangapai River just south of Whangarei. The boundary extends inland to include the Brynderwyn (or Piroa) and Kakanui Ranges.

HAUORA
Hauora me te Oranga – Hapū Health & Wellbeing Survey
E te whānau, tēnā koutou katoa.
Patuharakeke is preparing for the next stage of our hauora and wellbeing planning, and we need your voice to guide us. We’ve launched a Health & Wellbeing Survey to help us understand the realities, needs, aspirations, and challenges of our people — from our pēpi through to our kaumātua.
This survey is more than a form. It is your chance to shape the direction of our hapū. Your experiences, your whakaaro, your hopes for our collective wellbeing will directly influence the decisions, resources, and support systems we build going forward.
Why your input matters:
-
It ensures our planning reflects real whānau needs
-
It strengthens our ability to advocate for services and funding
-
It helps us design kaupapa that uplift our people
-
It supports long-term wellbeing strategies grounded in our values, our whenua, and our identity
Every response adds to the bigger picture of who we are and what we need to thrive. Nō reira, we ask each whānau member to take a few minutes to complete the survey and share it with your wider whānau. Act today, survey closes Sunday 9th August.

Your voice is essential. Our future depends on it.
