Kaye Excited as Waiheke Chosen for Iconic Cleanup
Auckland Central MP, Nikki Kaye, can’t wait to see the results of the Keep New Zealand Beautiful (KNZB) makeover on Waiheke Island.
The Keep Waiheke Beautiful campaign runs along with the New World KNZB Cleanup week, from 4 September to 11 September. Waiheke will be featured as one of three national iconic destinations.
“All of Waiheke’s coastline and stunning beaches, including Little Oneroa, Sandy Bay and Palm Beach, will receive the royal treatment during the week-long campaign,” says Nikki Kaye.
“I’ve really enjoyed working with KNZB CEO Simon Johnston to bring the campaign to the island. I held a meeting on Waiheke and was delighted that the Community Board and local residents like Jenness Reeve have taken such a strong lead on this.”
There are lots of events planned, including a blessing at Piritahi Marae and the making of a short educational film for visitors which will be screened at the Waiheke Cinema during summer.
“I want to encourage everyone in Waiheke to get involved and help keep their community beautiful.”
