Tena koutou and welcome
I'm pleased you have taken the time to take a look at my website and as you can see I've been up to quite a bit.
I'm New Zealand born and breed and while my heritage takes me back to Whakatane, Pukehina and Te Kuiti I have spent many years in Invercargill, Christchurch and for the past 20 years have lived in Auckland.
Both my wife and I run our successful business focusing on health and well-being and this has been through our medical practices operating in Auckland as far North as Kaeo and as far south as Christchurch.
George Ngatai, prominent breakfast radio host on Tauranga’s 105.4FM and Chief Executive Officer of The Whānau Ora Community Clinic, has officially announced his candidacy for the Te Awanui Ward by-election for the Tauranga City Council.
A proud descendant of Ngāti Whakahemo, Ngāti Awa, and Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngatai seeks to bring a strong Māori voice and inclusive leadership to local government.
Driven by his passion for community development and the importance of genuine relationships with local iwi, I believe that strengthening partnerships between Council and mana whenua is essential for Tauranga’s continued growth.
“While there is relationship between local government and many of our iwi right now. I see a real opportunity to foster connections that will benefit all of Tauranga,”
“As Māori, we bring a unique perspective on kaitiakitanga (guardianship), community well-being, and social cohesion. I want to ensure our voices are represented at the Council table.”
