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.
