LIVE DAY | Matariki
Join us to celebrate Matariki, explore connections to our taiao (environment) and learn more about the tenets of the Māori New Year such as remembrance, acknowledging our bounty and planning for the future.
We are proud to present Pacific Frequencies: MAHU, an interactive audio exhibition focusing on Indigenous and Pacific stories of home and healing.
Explore the grounds in a tour of our heritage gardens to learn about plants and their medicinal uses. Discover ways to dye fabric the natural way or craft a star and make a wish for the New Year!
Check out some of our other regular live day activities, see the coal range in Puhi Nui homestead fired up and the blacksmiths at work in the forge. Pick up some old-fashioned lollies at the sweet shop or unwind at the Homestead Café. There will be something for everyone so make a day of it!

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?

81.3% Community feedback and transparency is needed.

18.7% No. This would be impossible in practice.
