Saving lives together for 40 years
When you look up this summer, you will likely hear the distinctive sound of our red and yellow Westpac Rescue Helicopter.
The chopper has been flying above our homes for four decades – and this month we mark 40 years of saving lives together with Westpac. During this time, our crews have flown thousands of missions and helped save countless lives. These are parents, siblings, colleagues, neighbors that have returned
safely home thanks to the support of Westpac, and the community.

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
