Permaculture in New Zealand's mission is to act as a national hub in promoting and empowering permaculture education, activism and advocacy in Aotearoa NZ.
Our website aims to help people interested in and practicing permaculture within Aotearoa to keep in touch and share information.
If you're new to the concept of permaculture and its strategies, the principles and ethics are a good starting point.

Local magazine 'Plenty' recently did a profile on me which mentions applying permaculture design thinking to economic and community development. It is written by Jenny Michie. Explicit discussion is very brief, but here is the relevant extract in case anyone is interested:

Last weekend the new PiNZ Council had our first proper face to face meeting. The venue was the Ecomatters building in New Lyn, which was a great place to meet, with plenty of space, wifi, kitchen etc. They even have an outdoor pizza oven which we made good use of on Saturday night. Thanks to Guenther for organising such an excellent space for us.....

Apologies if this is old news but this is an incredible archive of permaculture writings. Even what looks like a complete scan of Bill Mollison's Permaculture Designers Manual

This is a great opportunity to experience life on a permaculture farm while 'nesting' over the long, wet winter.
Kaitiaki Farm is an exemplar permaculture farm with world-leading education programmes.
