Harakeke Eco-Cultural Centre has been developed by the Maraeroa C Incorporation on its tribal land beneath Mt Pureora in the King Country. It opened in 2009. The complex is open to the public, and includes a harakeke (flax plantation), native plant nursery, flax processing centre, visitors' centre and accommodation. There are many other harakeke, both long-standing and recent, in use around the country.
