The Peninsula, from Hauraki to Bayswater and Devonport, is a great place to live! Te Hau Kapu Devonport Peninsula Trust, guided by volunteers, has been running programmes and events in the local area for 15 years and is interested to find out how we could all build an even stronger community over the next 12 months.

Survey cards are also available throughout the peninsula with collection boxes at The Vic Theatre Trust Devonport, The Rose Centre Belmont, and Devonport Library.

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
