Mau Whenua - Save Shelly Bay

  • Early closure of our page

    The High Court action by Mau Whenua Incorporated Society (MWI) to challenge the validity of the sale of iwi whenua at Shelly Bay (Marukaikuru) is now on hold indefinitely.

    While some funds received by MWI through Givealittle were used for the original purpose stated e.g. administration, a lot of the Marukaikuru occupation expenses were absorbed by MWI since November.

    Mau Whenua's occupation at Marukaikuru is now fully self-sufficient given that all comments for donations on Givealittle indicate the occupation as the intended recipient. Therefore MWI will ensure that all remaining funds raised in February and March are transferred into the Marukaikuru Occupation bank account.

  • High Court Action deferred until March 2021

      15 July 2020

    Our High Court Action to challenge the sale of the land at Shelly Bay had to be rescheduled from June 2020 until March 2021, due to COVID-19. So we're still fighting the good fight, it's just going to take a wee bit longer!
