Housing dream becomes reality for Ratana Pā pair
While higher interest rates might be cooling the housing market, in the tiny town known as Ratana Pā, the demand is still higher than the supply.
Just south of Whanganui, Ratana Pā is the birthplace of the Māori prophet Tahupotiki Wiremu Ratana. It’s home to just 345 people.
The settlement is virtually landlocked by farms, making it hard for successive generations to build new homes.
Whanganui Touch – sponsorship
Silks Audit are proud to sponsor Whanganui Touch – youth teams – thank you for letting us be apart of your uniform.

This week we were lucky enough to receive our new mats. We assembled a team and installed them over the weekend. Battalion now has a huge 105 square meters of mat space surrounded by super comfy wall pads! We are so proud to deliver a super safe and hygienic training space for our students.
This would not have been possible without some amazing organizations that support us. We have to give a MASSIVE thank you to New Zealand Community Trust, Toi Foundation and Silk Audit Chartered Accountants who all donated towards our new mats.
Secondly we want to thank Sheryl and Peter at Gymmats.co.nz for supplying such an amazing product. Their communication and quality has truly been amazing.
