Our Stories
Driving whānau to success
Aukaha’s new driver licensing programme Aukaha Drive helps whānau overcome any barriers in the way of accessing driver licensing if they meet requirements. If you meet certain criteria, the Ministry of Social Development can cover the costs. We encourage you to get in touch to find out what we can do for you.
A journey home to the whānau
Unearthing whānau connections and stories is something close to the heart of Aukaha’s newest Mana Ahurea General Manager, Sio Tulia.
Ladies Mile
A wero put down by mana whenua regarding a new development in Tāhuna Queenstown was directly addressed by an independent hearing panel in their feedback decision to the Queenstown Lakes District Council.
Ready to Rent for whānau
A new rental workshop delivered by Aukaha will support whānau in accessing long term rental homes.
Dunedin’s main centre alive with Kāi Tahutaka
Silvery blue lights representing makā (barracouda) dart through the street above while whakatauki, kupu Māori and imagery of matau and makā weave through the pavement below. These are just some of the design features that make up the new main street of Dunedin.
