Kaipara Kai

We want to help the people of Kaipara use their fertile land to its best potential.

Kaipara Kai was set up to fuel economic growth by identifying opportunities for landowners to draw greater value from their land use.

The Kaipara Kai project included:

Kai feasibility research
Local climate (topo-climate), soil and water availability research
Establishing a Kaipara Kai Hub, a 12 month one-stop support base for landowners.
Analysing market opportunities
Activation plan - an approach to realising Kaipara Kai opportunities
