The Waiheke Station, formerly known as the Maori Affairs Block, was returned to Ngati Paoa as part of the Government's settlement with Hauraki Tribes in 1989.

History

Its colourful history includes a land occupation protest when islanders, Maori and Pakeha together, learned of plans to sign the lease over to former manager George Evans. The Waiheke Land Action Committee was formed and members occupied the block.
