Auckland Regional Parks
Auckland’s coastal regional parks are truly a slice of ecological paradise, and Kauri Park is proud to have worked on projects in Duder, Waitawa and Tapapakanga on Auckland’s east coast, planting native revegetation to restore these beautiful ecosystems.
The Lakes Tauriko
The Lakes in Tauriko is an innovative, residential development in the Bay of Plenty which includes 2450 sections and took over 4 years to complete. Kauri Park was awarded the planting project based on the scale of our nursery, quality of plants, supporting infrastructure, and our ability to deliver.
Te Ara Nui o Te Rangihaeata – Transmission Gully
Achieving good long-term environmental outcomes was a big part of the Transmission Gully project, a 27km long, four lane stretch of motorway north of Wellington, and Kauri Park’s planting of 2.5 million plants played a significant role in the results.

Drury is the new gateway to Auckland south. The mixed-use developments are designed to combine community and industry with the natural world. The projects integrate homes with business hubs consisting of retail and commercial services.

The Auckland Northern Motorway has been a multi-year marathon for NZTA. Carving a major state highway through geologically complicated terrain was certainly a complex task for the many engineers and designers involved.
