Te Tākinatanga - Our Story
Toitū Te Whenua plays a vital role in understanding, developing, and caring for New Zealand's whenua, moana and arawai (land, sea and waterways). Whether you're developing our products and services to support our customers, managing the Crown estate, engaging with our iwi partners, or helping us be an effective regulator, your contribution can make a difference. Our mahi helps New Zealanders have confidence that the development of our land, communities and country is being planned from an informed and expert position that balances environmental, social, cultural, and economic considerations. Now and for future generations.

**Our area**: Our Regulatory Practice and Delivery group manages the regulatory system for how Toitū te Whenua and other Crown agencies buy, sell, and manage land assets for the benefit of New Zealanders. These land assets include both the about two million hectares of land Toitu Te Whenua manages directly, and land held by other agencies such as Waka Kotahi or the Ministry of Education. Our regulatory system seeks to ensure that the Crown buys and sells this land in ways that advance the public interest while also protecting private property rights.
If working with smart and driven people who want to make a difference to New Zealand is important to you and you have the capability, passion, and commitment to help us move into the future, we would love to hear from you.
