TEC Hub

The ‘TEC Hub’ is a vibrant space for community connection, providing waste minimisation advice, recycling services, home to the EcoShop, an education space for all ages, a meeting space for community projects, a community garden, a trap library, and a community composting site.  

Tairāwhiti Environment Centre has been located at 386 Palmerston Road, since 2017. We welcome visitors during opening hours, so come and see us to browse the EcoShop, enjoy the garden, or just to have a cuppa and a yarn with our staff.
