Latest Project

Tauranga City Council

Waiāri Water Supply Scheme

This project is the biggest infrastructure project being undertaken by Tauranga City Council. We have been working with the Council since before construction began in 2017 and are looking forward to assisting the Council to launch the Scheme late 2022. The project involves five different construction contracts and community in the neighbouring district of Western Bay of Plenty, requiring specialised communications and engagement support.

Zest Consulting have led this by building connections with tangata whenua, key community leaders and WBOPDC to ensure key community members received correct information and had the opportunity to feed into the project. Where possible we have included community in decision making, a key tool to engaging community.
