A Ngati Porou church leader living across the Tasman is planning to build a marae for the growing Maori community in Western Australia.

Kaua Te Rangi Tuhura, known to most people as Reverend Kuzie, moved with his family from the small East Coast settlement of Hiruharama in 2011 to Bunbury just south of Perth.

Since shifting there he has become a highly respected Maori elder and was ordained as a priest in the Anglican Church of Australia.
