Whare Timu, new associate principal and leader of Warren and Mahoney s cultural design unit Te Matakīrea, is forging an architecture career that seemed destined from childhood.
Whare Timu (Ngāti Kahungunu, Te Arawa, Ngāti Tūwharetoa) is the first person in his family to go to university, and now, at 34, he has landed one of the most sought-after jobs in architecture – associate principal in charge of Warren and Mahoney Architects advanced cultural design unit Te Matakīrea. Timu’s parents may not be too surprised, however. To hear him talk about his childhood in Heretaunga, it’s clear they encouraged his artistic talent from a very young age. Timu was allowed to paint superheroes all over the walls of the family home – comic strip characters, landscapes and horses were other favourites.

Another person says they believe there is an escalating bullying culture at the council.

Payments for 13 redundancies - including one of three in 2019 - totalled nearly $500,000.
