Ness Valley is a rural area in Clevedon, where three separate private landowners engaged Kauri Park Projects to deliver ecological planting to protect the riparian catchment within their boundaries. Each site required riparian planting along waterways, with species selected by the project ecologist to manage water runoff and support water quality. The planting met Auckland Council consenting requirements and enabled the landowners to progress subdivision of their rural lots.

This 82ha (200 acre) slice of island paradise in the Hauraki Gulf is a piece of New Zealand history and now a haven for natural plants and birds to thrive in a protected ecosystem.

As part of the O Mahurangi – Penlink project, Kauri Park Projects delivered an offset mitigation planting programme within Shakespear Regional Park, establishing 163,000 eco-sourced native plants.

Auckland’s coastal regional parks are truly a slice of ecological paradise, and Kauri Park is proud to have worked on projects in Duder, Waitawa and Tapapakanga on Auckland’s east coast, planting native revegetation to restore these beautiful ecosystems.

Drury is the new gateway to Auckland south. The mixed-use developments are designed to combine community and industry with the natural world. The projects integrate homes with business hubs consisting of retail and commercial services.

This private property is the intersection of multiple pathways of different missions. The property owners are on a mission to leave the land as a richer ecosystem for the next generation so are returning large areas of steep hillsides into native bush.
