Our Stories
Zero Waste Starts at Home
At Kaipātiki Project, we believe that sustainability begins at home — and for us, that home is our EcoHub. This year, with the support of Kaipātiki Local Board, we launched Zero Waste Kaipātiki, a project focused on reducing waste and inspiring practical change in our community.
Biosecurity in Action on Motutapu
In a remarkable display of dedication and collaboration, Te Tauroa native plant nursery, managed by Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki and Kaipātiki Project have successfully completed a high-stakes biosecurity plant transfer mission, delivering 3,000 native plants of 13 different species to Motutapu.
Going Nationwide with Meridian’s Decarbonisation Fund
We’re still buzzing with pride! Kaipātiki Project has been featured in Meridian Energy’s Community Decarbonisation Fund campaign, which has rolled out across TV, social media, billboards and even the front page of the NZ Herald — starring our very own Neil!
This nationwide spotlight is more than just a campaign.
