The trust's commercial arm Taranaki Whānui Ltd will be part of a joint venture that will own and develop a number of the existing waterfront buildings and other heritage buildings. A wharenui will be built on a green space reserve, and tribal members will be eligible to participate in a home ownership programme in the wider Shelly Bay Taikuru development as well as Wellington Company developments in Mt Cook and Te Aro.
