What we’re doing in regions across Aotearoa

Ōtepoti | Dunedin
Dunedin is full of opportunities and challenges. The city's population is changing as we move from a low to a medium growth city - which will require new ideas and strategies to ease future growing pains. As an organisation we like to collaborate with minded groups on particular issues; mainly urban design, waste management, and reaching Carbon Zero emissions by 2030.
