Tai Tokerau Mutual is a regional, community-owned investment fund that repatriates Northland’s KiwiSaver wealth to finance high-yield, negentropic local projects. We serve the people of Te Tai Tokerau by transforming passive retirement savings into active "Impact Capital" for housing, energy, and food sovereignty.

The Problem: Northland’s estimated $3.8 billion KiwiSaver pool is currently subject to "Capital Flight," managed by offshore fund managers who invest in global equities with no local benefit, while our region suffers from a lack of affordable housing and infrastructure.

The Solution: A regional "Community-Saver" model that allocates 40% of its portfolio to direct Northland impact assets—such as solar farms, build-to-rent social housing on Māori land, and high-value horticulture—plugging the "Leaky Bucket" and keeping wealth circulating within the region.

The Papakāinga Economic Pā is a community-led housing development model that transitions whānau from being passive consumers of debt to active architects of their own sovereign reality. It integrates high-performance modular housing with a communal lifestyle that prioritises intergenerational well-being and energy sovereignty.

The Problem: Current housing is treated as a "Babylonian" financial asset to be leveraged and extracted, leading to high-entropy living conditions where whānau are isolated from their land and each other.

The Solution: We implement "Zion" abundance by re-weaving the village structure, using the Mauri Model to ensure the home serves as an "ancestor" that provides health, safety, and cultural connection.

The Circular Timber & Housing Hub is a vertically integrated "Economic Pā" that processes Northland-grown timber locally to manufacture high-performance, modular homes specifically designed for Māori freehold land. By repatriating regional capital to fund local production, we provide whānau with warm, sovereign housing while plugging the economic "leaky bucket" of raw log exports.

The Problem: Northland currently exports 61% of its timber as raw logs, losing the "value-add" revenue to offshore processors while whānau face a chronic shortage of warm, dry homes. Furthermore, building on Māori freehold land is often blocked by traditional banks that refuse to lend against multiply-owned titles.

The Solution: We shift from extraction to Ekonomia. By processing timber using geothermal heat at Ngāwhā, we create cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels for prefabricated modular homes. These units are designed for easy assembly on whenua Māori and utilise a Circular Financial System that bypasses traditional banking hurdles through regional "Community-Saver" investment.
