The character made his first screen appearance during the episode broadcast on 10 February 2020. Tane is Browne's first television acting role after graduating from drama school. The character was introduced as a part of the first Māori family to feature in the show. The family consists of his brother, Ari Parata, his nephew Nikau Parata and his sister-in-law, Gemma Parata. The family arrive in the town of Summer Bay to begin a new life, despite their tragic past. As the show's first Māori family, the actors involved strived to make them an authentic representation of the culture. Tane is characterised as a "cheeky" and "mischievous" man, he is "family-orientated" but often rebels against his brother, Ari. Writers have developed Tane from being a thief to a more responsible character, making him the owner of the local gym and head of the Parata family. Tane passes on his Māori warrior traditions to Nikau via the Taiaha, a traditional fighting staff. Browne and Fox-Reo thoroughly researched the storyline. Browne continued to praise the show throughout his duration for their commitment to providing an authentic portrayal of Māori culture.
