Living sustainably means a better life for all of us.
IMAGINE. A nurturing, supportive community living in harmony with nature. Healthy soil, plants, animals and people.
Clean air, clean water, abundant kai, rich biodiversity - our natural environment feeds into all
that we are. Fish in the ocean and streams, and birds in the bush. Resilient to respond to the effects of climate change.
Conscious business practices.
A thriving local economy.
Infrastructure that sits lightly on the land and supports an active, engaged community. A bright inviting future for our children.
A shining example of sustainability in action - an exemplar for the world.
VISION STATEMENT
Our vision is for a flourishing community that is adaptable, caring and inclusive. We work in concert with nature to preserve and improve
our environment. Our sustainable approach inspires others.
