Horoera

Horoera is a village and rural community in Gisborne District of New Zealand's North Island.

[4] The community has traditionally been made up of a group of closely related families, whose life centred around the marae.

[5] The area's isolation made life difficult for European settlers,[6] and poverty has forced many local Māori to migrate to larger centres.

[5] In 2017, New Zealand Transport Agency upgraded the Horoera Bridge,[7] giving campervans and other heavy vehicles full access to the East Cape Lighthouse.

[9] In October 2020, the Government committed $5,756,639 from the Provincial Growth Fund to upgrade the marae and 28 others across the Gisborne District.
