Open day...what a day!
In conjunction with our main contractor, Naylor Love, we held our first community open day on Saturday 15 February, and it was awesome.

Come one, come all
We are excited to announce that in collaboration with Naylor Love and other local services we are holding our first community open day.
Governance Model
In our first pānui we shared that we were undergoing a structural transformation, moving to a circular model that allows every roopu to feed into each other, rather than a hierarchical model that has minimal room for the flow of information, communication, collaboration and solutions.
Guided by values
Our values drive and inform all decision making. We even have a roopu whose primary purpose is to ensure our values sit at the centre of everything we do.

Meaning of wellness: Te Rangahaua TKR
If you’ve been down Dublin Street recently you’ll no doubt have been captivated by the artwork that makes up part of our site hoarding.
Preload?
There’s been a lot happening onsite since our last pānui, and if you have been down Wicksteed Street recently, or taken a peek through one of the viewing panels installed in the site fencing on Dublin Street, what you would have seen is something that resembles a go-kart course, complete with tyres spread out on top.
A trip down memory lane
Most locals remember this site as the home to UCOL, with many also recalling it being the home to Whanganui Polytechnic, but did you know that it was also once home to Whanganui Girls College?

What, where, why and who?
Te Puna Hapori is located on the former UCOL site and will be a wellness hub that provides a range of whānau centric community and wellbeing services.
Te Āhuru Mōwai - our logo
Created by Lamon Paranihi-Haami, Te Āhuru Mōwai is a representation of a collaboration that changes the experiences our whānau have when dealing with any type of service.
A place for everyone
Just like our awa flows and changes - so do we. We are currently going through a structural transformation.
