List of marae in the Bay of Plenty Region facts for kids
This page lists the marae in the Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand. A marae is a special Māori meeting place, like a community center, where people gather for important events, discussions, and celebrations. It's a very important part of Māori culture.
In October 2020, the New Zealand Government gave nearly $30 million from the Provincial Growth Fund. This money was for improving 77 marae in the Bay of Plenty. The goal was to create 648 jobs and help these important cultural places.
