💧 IS YOUR MARAE'S DRINKING WATER SAFE?

Most of us turn on the tap at a marae and expect the water to be safe.

But if your water became unsafe tomorrow, would your trustees know what to do?

Ask yourselves:

💧 Where does our water come from?
💧 When was it last tested?
💧 Is our treatment system maintained?
💧 Who is responsible for checking it?
💧 Do we have a contamination response plan?

A simple test:

👉 If something went wrong tomorrow, could you quickly find the records, contacts and procedures you need?

MaraeHub is being developed to help marae keep this information organised in one place — including water testing, treatment, risks, incident response and follow-up actions.

This isn't just about having a system.

It's about being ready when something goes wrong.

🔥 A marae can be destroyed by fire in minutes.

This isn't just a theoretical risk.

Marae around Aotearoa have experienced devastating fires, with buildings, taonga and years of history lost.

Fire and Emergency NZ says most marae buildings pose a significant fire and evacuation risk.

So here's a question for your trustees:

If there was a fire at your marae tonight, would you know your fire safety systems were ready?

When was the last time you checked:

🧯 Fire extinguishers
🚨 Fire alarms
🚪 Emergency exits
📋 Evacuation procedures
👥 Fire Warden training

Knowing you have a fire safety system is not the same as knowing it works.

MaraeHub is being built to help marae trustees keep these checks, documents, responsibilities and follow-up actions organised in one place.

Protect the marae. Protect the people. Protect the taonga.

This week I've been working on the next stage of MaraeHub.

The vision is simple.

✅ One board view.

✅ Less administration for trustees.

✅ Better compliance and emergency preparedness.

✅ Better decisions.

Most trustees volunteer countless hours to keep their marae running. They shouldn't have to search through emails, spreadsheets, notebooks, meeting minutes, and filing cabinets to understand what's happening.

MaraeHub is being designed to bring everything together in one place so trustees can focus on what matters most.

Every week we learn something new, improve something, and keep moving forward.

If you'd like to learn more, arrange a demonstration, or simply have a kōrero about the challenges facing your marae, send us a message.0274 693 360.

Ngā mihi,

Most software waits for you to remember. This one remembers for you.

A compliance renewal. A service reminder. A grant deadline. A meeting action nobody's actioned yet.

In most systems, someone has to remember to create a task for each of these — which means if that one person is busy, unwell, or steps back from the committee, things quietly slip.

MaraeHub does this automatically. The moment something's due or overdue — anywhere in the platform — it shows up on one shared Task Board, for every trustee to see. No one person has to be the one who remembers everything.

That's not just convenient. That's real resilience for a volunteer committee.

Why we built MaraeHub.

We're not building software.
We're building infrastructure for Māori self-determination in the digital age.

Tino rangatiratanga in the 21st century requires marae to be organised, data-literate, and resilient — not just culturally strong but operationally capable.

Cyclone Gabrielle showed us what happens when marae aren't prepared. Climate change means it will happen again. And again.
MaraeHub exists so that when the next disaster hits — your marae is ready. Your records are safe. Your trustees are informed. Your community is protected.

Ko te marae te puna o te mātauranga.
The marae is the wellspring of knowledge.
We're making sure that wellspring never runs dry. 🌿

Ko te marae te puna o te mātauranga — the marae is the wellspring of knowledge.

And yet so much of what holds a marae together — the assets, the decisions, the finances, the compliance — is still being managed from notebooks, spreadsheets, and memory.

That's what MaraeHub was built to change.

We're a governance platform designed specifically for marae trustees, chairs, and committees. Not adapted from a generic tool. Built from scratch, with marae needs at the centre.

Right now we're live and working alongside our founding marae — and the difference it's making is real. Trustees who always felt in the dark now have a clear view of what's happening across their marae. Treasurers spending hours on manual tracking are getting that time back.

If your marae is ready to bring everything into one place — assets, meetings, rentals, compliance, decision records — we'd love to show you what MaraeHub looks like in action.

No pressure. No commitment. Just 20 minutes and a conversation.

Imagine being a marae trustee and opening one screen that shows you everything your marae needs to stay on top of — compliance, assets, bookings, tasks, and now even workflow progress — all in one place.
That's what Board View in MaraeHub does.
No more chasing updates. No more wondering if something's been missed. Just a clear picture of where your marae is at, every time you log in.
This is MaraeHub — built specifically for marae trustees, by someone who understands what you carry.
