He mihi nui ki a Rebecca 💚

It’s a bittersweet announcement for us at Te Kāhui Hauora, as we farewell Rebecca Mason, who has represented Ngāti Kuia Trust on our Board, and celebrate her appointment as Group Manager Integration, Nelson Marlborough with Health New Zealand - Te Whatu Ora.

Rebecca has brought enormous experience and insight to our Board, alongside a deep commitment to hauora Māori and improving the experiences and outcomes of whānau across Te Tauihu.

While we’re sorry to lose her from around our Board table, we’re also incredibly proud to see her take that commitment into a senior leadership role within the health system here in Te Tauihu.

There is important mahi ahead for hauora Māori, and having people within the system who understand our rohe, our whānau and the importance of genuine partnership matters.

Rebecca takes up her new role on 5 October.

Ngā mihi nui, e hoa. We’ll miss you around the Board table, but we’re very pleased you’re not going far.

Kia ora e te iwi, Just a heads-up from Marlborough District Council regarding the control of aquatic weeds in our watercourses.

Starting Monday, 05 October 2026, Council’s drain spraying programme will commence on the Lower Wairau Plains, east of Jacksons Road and Grahams Road. This operation aims to control noxious aquatic weeds in Council-maintained drains and watercourses.

If you rely on water from these drains or watercourses for irrigation, stock, or harvesting watercress, please contact Council’s Drainage Engineer on 03 520 7400 or 027 388 9303 for further information.

This spray operation aligns with the Marlborough Environment Plan Vol 2 (section 2.12.11)

📞 For any questions or concerns, feel free to contact James Mills-Kelly at 03 520 7400 or 027 388 9303
