It's been a vision more than 20 years in the making and now little spotted kiwi have returned to Nelson.
Nelson-Tasman’s best hospitality and accommodation venues have been recognised tonight at the 2025 Nelson Tasman Hospitality Awards.
Forty little spotted kiwi/kiwi pukupuku are being introduced to the Brook Waimārama Sanctuary this May, thanks to the combined efforts of iwi, local businesses, Save the Kiwi, supported by the Department of Conservation.
Nelson City Council (NCC) and the Nelson Regional Development Agency (NRDA), with funding support from the Selwyn Foundation, have partnered to pilot a new Nelson Visitor Information Ambassador Programme, engaging retired residents to provide information and manaakitanga to visitors in Nelson, enhancing their experience of the region.
For the fourth year in a row, Nelson Regional Development Agency is pleased to deliver Fantastic Futures; a one-day event designed for Nelson Tasman high school students to showcase vocational pathways in key industries driving the local economy.
