Projects and hazard management

Toitū Te Whenua manages properties on behalf of the Crown and client agencies. These properties include former prisons, hospitals and schools, as well as residential and commercial properties. 

Some of the properties we manage are earmarked for Treaty settlement. In some cases, part of our role in preparing a property for Treaty settlement can include:

• clearing infrastructure
• remediating the land
• managing contaminants in the soil
• mitigating hazards on site.
