Orere Awa Restoration are having the final planting day this Saturday, 13/06/2026,

Below Rolands Bridge, on Turners block 11am - 1pm

This will be the last 1,000 of total 4,000

The OCBC would like to invite the community down for a bbq and refreshments down at Turners farm as a way of thanking this awesome community for pitching in and helping with the replanting of native trees along our river. The OAR team has done an amazing job and would appreciate any assistance on this last day of planting. Even if you can't be there to plant, at least come down at 1:00 for a feed and catch up with local council members and your fellow locals.

The OCBC team

All are very welcome

22/05/2026

The OCBC would like to encourage members of the community to join the Orere Awa Restoration team down at Turners farm.
They'll be saying a few words and planting a golden totora in memorial of the community members and loved ones who have passed away recently.

This will be done around 11:00 this Saturday (tomorrow) and community members are welcome to say a few words in remembrance and welcome to join the OAR team afterwards for the community planting session,
Please park on the road and make your way down on foot rather than driving down the gravel driveway (by bridge) for safety reasons.

Hopefully see you there,

OCBC team

Emergency response plan.

To all Orere residents,

recently we were faced with a possible emergency with Cylone Vaianu and had to quickly pull together a response team to get ourselves into a position where we could support ourselves for a period of time if needed.
As proud as I am of the work we did in that time it’s clear we need a more robust system and over the next few months we’ll be developing a more up to date plan for how we manage situations like this going forward.
This plan predominantly will be to ensure measures are in place to help Orere look after itself for up to three days, some of you may recognise this preparation as Orere’s community response plan or more recently the community resilience plan.

Whilst this plan is under the guidance of the OCBC it is ultimately the responsibility of the community, all of us.
We currently have an interim team and will be working towards formalizing this in the coming weeks but as we progress we will be canvasing the community for support and feedback.

In the meantime if you have any queries, feel free to call
Jared McKay (OCBC chair)
on 0225687307

Thanks in advance for your engagement and we’ll be in touch soon.
