The land on which the Arikikapakapa (Rotorua Golf Course) operates has been transferred from the Crown back to the Pukeroa Ōruawhata Trust, as representatives of the original Ngāti Whakaue owners.
The golf course land was originally gifted by Ngāti Whakaue as a recreation reserve and was previously held and managed by the Department of Conservation. The land continues to be leased to the Rotorua Golf Club (RGC).
