Greater Wellington Regional Council

Restoration Services Panel

From native forests, to farms, from fresh water to flood risks, biodiversity and beyond. We listen to the land closely, keenly, and provide what’s needed to protect our region’s precious taiao (environment). If we don’t listen, we’ll lose what we have and what might be.

Whakarongo Tātou ki te Whenua.We declared a climate emergency in 2019 and set a big, bold target to be carbon neutral by 2030. We’re serious about this. We partner with all sorts of groups, working together to reduce emissions and prepare for the unavoidable effects of climate change. We are taking action now and planning for big changes ahead, to help us reach our carbon neutral goal. Restoration of native forests across the region forms a key part of helping to achieve this goal.

GWRC is focused on working with mana whenua, agency partners, suppliers (large scale or niche) and the community to restore areas in the region through native planting. Restoration is focused on native reforestation to reduce emissions, improve environmental resilience, increase native biodiversity, improve water quality, restore, protect and enhance cultural and community values, and reconnect people with nature. Programmes include Recloaking Papatūānuku –Parks Restoration, Riparian Rivers restoration, The Wairarapa Moana Programme and Land Management programmes with private landowners. These programmes combined aim to plant over 1 million trees annually.

This procurement relates to the delivery of environmental restoration by GWRC across the region through a 10 year open panel for the following services:
Seed/cuttings collection; plant supply; site preparation, planting and aftercare (Site preparation, Planting, Plant releasing, Records and Monitoring).
