Oromahoe Trust
Oromahoe 18R2B2B2 Ahu Whenua Trust is an Ahu Whenua Trust under Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993.
Oromahoe Trust was established in 1990 and is an amalgamation of numerous small lots held by nga whanau into one economic farm, this dates back to the middle of last century. It is located approximately 15-20 minutes from Kerikeri, Kaikohe, Moerewa, Paihia and Waitangi.
The Trust has approximately 1000 shareholders from the hapu of Ngati Rahiri, Ngati Kawa, te Ngarehauata, Whanaurara, Matarahurahu , Ngati Tautahi, Ngati Whakaeke and Ngati Kaihoroha; some of these Hapu have since died out.
There are 7 elected responsible trustee. We have a farm manager and a financial administrator to manage our assets.
Our core business is sheep and beef farming, forestry and property.
Our distribution policy allows for grants to Kaumatua and Kuia; School purposes grants; special projects or hui; and in particular tertiary education. Further, meat is supplied yearly to Waitangi Marae for Waitangi Day commemorations and for other relevant hui.
The total landholding is 1351 ha, having grown from 1000 ha in 1990.
Trustees meet bi-monthly (or as required) and an AGM is held every October at Oromahoe Marae.
