Te Tari Taiao, the Ngāti Rangiwewehi Environmental unit, was first established in 2008 via a mandated Iwi Hui held at Tarimano Marae. This pre-empted the Environment Court hearing for Taniwha Springs with the initial focus being the development of an Iwi Management Plan 2008 and then later updated in 2012.
The key purpose of the unit is to monitor and address any environmental issues for the iwi. It is also responsible for the review, management and implementation of the Iwi Environmental Management Plan. Te Tari Taiao meets regularly and utilises the collective knowledge of a roopu of Ngati Rangiwewehi environmentalists (known as Te Awa Tere) to analyse and make recommendations to the iwi via Te Maru o Ngati Rangiwewehi.
Te Awa Tere is made up of Ngāti Rangiwewehi environmental and cultural experts.
