The Mission

We’ve set ourselves a big goal: to become New Zealand’s first carbon-neutral suburb. Ngaio’s got everything going for it – we’re compact, well-connected by public transport, packed with local shops and businesses, and we’ve got an active community that actually shows up.

We’re not waiting around for someone else to fix climate change. We’re focused on the things we can actually do together, right here in our neighbourhood. Electrifying homes, eating more plant-based meals, or rethinking how we get around, every action counts when we’re doing it collectively.
