Mr Waetford's work. He carried the gospel of land development to all corners of the district and more than anyone, he was responsible for persuading Maori owners to bring their land under development. Mr Waetford was one of the last of the old school of Maori title experts employed by the Department of Maori Affairs, and his death leaves a void that can never be filled. He was chairman of the Whananaki Maori Committee, a member of the Whangarei Maori Committee, and a member of the board of trustees of the Whangarei Maori Community Centre. At one time he was chairman of the Tai Tokerau District Council and is an exchairman of the Northern Maori branch of the National Party. He contested one general election as the party's Northern Maori candidate. Mr Waetford is survived by his wife Mange, and children Betty, Reokara, Wiwi, Hepi, Kaare, Tiuka, Aroha, Uru, Don, Jonathan, Maraea, Carolyn, Charlotte, Cushla and Rory.
