in te reo Māori opens
A new police base in the small Bay of Plenty town of Tāneatua has opened after a fire destroyed the town's station in 2018.
Officially opened by Commissioner Andrew Coster following a blessing by local kaumatua, police say the base was a collaborative project with Ngāi Tūhoe and other key community partners.
"This whare is a touchstone for positive change - it's a place that encourages engagement with the entire community and the spirit of mahi tahi (working together), Coster said.
"It's wairua can be felt inside and out."
