To better serve our communities, we opened
new Court venues at Te Wānanga o Awanuiārangi
(Whakatāne), Waitahanui Community Centre
(Taupō), Te Aho Wānanga (Ōpōtiki), and The
Resort (Te Kaha). Although arranging these ven-
ues is often a complex task, these new locations
make court services more accessible, meeting the
needs of people where they live and work.
