Update

Mōrena whānau,
​We are reaching out today with a huge heart for our community and a gentle request to help us look after one another.

​Lately, during our busy shop times, some of our tenants at the KEA building have found their driveways blocked, making it really hard for them to get in and out.

​To help ease this, we kindly ask that you please do not park in the KEA building carpark. We really want to protect these spaces specifically for our beloved kaumātua (60+), ensuring they have safe, easy, and stress-free access.

​To help guide everyone and keep things running smoothly, we will have someone posted outside during shop hours.

​We are so grateful for your ongoing support, your understanding, and the respect you always show to our elders and neighbours. Ngā mihi nui for helping us keep our community safe and flowing beautifully!

​With love and respect,
Kawerau Tūhonohono Kai
