During Seaweek 2025, four vibrant coastal communities in Whangārei, Waipū, Ruakākā, Whananaki, and Ngunguru – joined forces with Northland Regional Council and Whangārei District Council to host a series of Coastal Conversations.
The drought over the 2019/2020 summer left a lasting impression in Te Taitokerau and exposed significant water challenges, particularly amongst rural communities without access to public water supply.
Te Rūnunga o Whaingaroa’s partnership with the Northland Regional Council has provided over 300 people in Whangaroa with secure access to clean drinking water, improving community resilience and well-being.
