Recent developments have been made by the Waitangi Tribunal in the Taihape and Porirua ki Manawatu Inquiry Districts, two of the final areas to begin investigation as part of the Treaty of Waitangi settlement process.

Chief Judge Wilson Isaac and Deputy Chief Judge Caren Fox have been appointed as Presiding Officers for Taihape and Porirua ki Manawatu respectively.  Professor Pou Temara is the first of the Tribunal members to be announced for Taihape, with the remaining members for both districts yet to be appointed.

Both districts are entering the early stages of planning and research development.
