What's in a name? The history of Tāngarākau

  • 15 Jul 2022

The places that our state highways pass through are rich in culture and history. The Tāngarākau Gorge, which forms part of State Highway 43, is one of those areas.

We work closely with our mana whenua partners to make sure that work is respectful of the te taiao (the environment).

Anaru Marshall of Ngāti Maru shares the story behind Tāngarākau.
