Localities are a key feature of the new health system.
Localities are a way to take a population health approach to plan health services to enable more seamless care, tailored to the health and well-being needs identified by whānau, the community, and local lwi.
Ngā puke ki Hauraki ka tārehu
E mihi ana ki te whenua, e tangi ana ki te tangata
Ko Moehau ki waho, ko Te Aroha ki uta
Ko Tīkapa te moana, ko Hauraki te whenua
The peaks of Hauraki lie shrouded in mist
We revere the land and lament the people
Moehau stands afar while Te Aroha stands within
Tīkapa is the sea and Hauraki the land

Te Tara o te Whai describes the Hauraki locality geographical boundary.
The whai (stingray)refers to the ika/ fish of Māui (the North Island) and the tara describes the barb or tail of the fish. The tara makes reference to Te Paeroa-o-Toitehuatahi, the ridgeline that symbolises the Coromandel Peninsula.
The whai is a kaitiaki (guardian) of Pare Hauraki, caring for our community and environment – as well as responding to challenges or risks when these arise.
Localities will be supported by a network of organisations and agencies working together to develop a plan for the community.
These organisations will work under the principles outlined in thecharter.
The first phase of the Hauraki Locality development covers the Thames - Coromandel and Hauraki District Council boundaries extending to Te Aroha which is covered by the Matamata-Piako District Council.
In the future, our activities will extend to include the wider Pare Hauraki boundaries.
