We are in the process of developing the next iteration of our Green Star tool, Green Star Buildings for New Zealand. Acknowledging and integrating Mātauranga Māori is of significant importance to this process and creating better outcomes and opportunities for iwi and hapu.  

To achieve this, we have worked extensively with a Māori Technical Working Group to develop the Tohu Mauri Ora Credit, which we now respectfully invite your feedback on.   

Members of this group are: 

  • Tyrone Newson, Director Te Kuaka, Chief Executive Officer at Ngāti Awa Group Holdings 
  • Anahera Rawiri, Principal – Kaihautū at Jasmax, Auckland City Council Advisory Board Member, Member at Te Kāhui Rangahau o Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, Member at Property Council NZ, Auckland Executive Branch, Board Member at Waitematā Local Board, Auckland Council  
  • Jade Kake, Director at Matakohe Architecture + Urbanism, Senior Lecturer at AUT Huri Te Ao School of Future Environments  
  • Ngata Tapsell, Principal at Beca, Chair of Te Arawa Management Limited, Chair of Pukaingataru B18, Chair and Panellist of the Auckland Urban Design Panel, Panellist of the Tauranga Urban Design Panel, Advisor to Huri Te Ao, Auckland University of Technology   
  • Lucy Tukua, Kaihautū Whakarito (Technical Director Regenerative Outcomes) at Mott MacDonald; Board member for Ngāti Paoa Iwi Trust, Hauraki Māori Trust Board and Auckland Light Rail Ltd   
  • Amanda Yates, Associate Professor at AUT and Director of ORA, regenerative action-lab  
  • Pierre Tohe, General Manager Engagement at Tainui Group Holdings  
  • Mike Conlon, Head of Project Delivery at Tainui Group Holdings 
  • Samantha McGavock, Kaihautū, Director at DONE Project Planning + Delivery  

Extensive kōrero and hui between the Māori Technical Working Group and the NZGBC have culminated in the current draft of the Tohu Mauri Ora credit which we are currently seeking consultation on from further iwi and hapū.   

Join us for a webinar hosted by Tyrone Newson and Lucy Tukua as we invite further feedback from industry.  

An extensive overview of the work done to date on the Tohu Mauri Ora credit and the details of the draft itself will be provided, alongside context of Green Star Buildings for New Zealand.  

A moderated Q+A session will close out the webinar where we will capture feedback on Tohu Mauri Ora credit.  

You can find more information about how we created this credit and read the draft credit here.
