This is an exciting opportunity to be involved in the regional governance of Aotearoa New Zealand’s internationally recognised 3,000km walking trail, rated among the top long walks in the world. Te Araroa Auckland Tāmaki Makaurau Trust is looking to add up to three new trustees, and is seeking expressions of interest from those who have experience in one or more of the following:
- An enthusiasm for, and interest in Te Araroa (and walking access across Aotearoa)
- Volunteer organisation governance
- Community service fundraising and volunteering
- Promotion and marketing; ability to network with business partners, local government
- Experience in community development projects
- An appreciation for the importance of Māoritanga, iwi partnerships, and the stories ofthe first people of Aotearoa New Zealand
- The value of tourism to Aotearoa New Zealand
Te Araroa Auckland Tāmaki Makaurau Trust (a regional group) assists Te Araroa Trust (at a
national level) in creating community and economic opportunities for the region. The trail
offers a valuable local recreational asset for those walking short or long sections, as well as
being a magnet for domestic and international visitors.
Te Araroa Auckland Tāmaki Makaurau Trust is specifically tasked with the generation of
community ownership, support for the trail, regional sponsorship, and overseeing trail
development and maintenance.
If you have a passion for the outdoors, are actively involved in the community, and understand how governance works, then we would love to hear from you. If you are enthusiastic, but have more to learn about governance, the existing trustees can help you build this in a united goal to build a trail that belongs to everyone, and make sure our walk of a lifetime is always growing and improving.

you, your background, your connection to Te Araroa and why you think you would
make a good Trustee.
