An entity called Te Runanga o Turanganui a Kiwa was registered in 1986 to be the mandated iwi authority for the tribes of Turanganui a Kiwa. The Runanga was charged with supporting the iwi, hapu and whanau of Turanganui a Kiwa toward "tino rangatiratanga".

The objects for which the Runanga was established are to conserve, promote, advance, and assist Toa Rangatiratanga within the area bounded by the southern mouth of the Rangitikei river to the Arahura river on the west coast of the South Island and across to Kaikoura on the East Coast and indeed in any place or places Ngati Toa people are resident.

To ensure that the rights and interests that Te Whanau a Apanui currently hold, on behalf of our ancestors and in trust for our mokopuna, are neither removed nor diminished
