Preserve New Chum for Everyone Inc

We are the voice of the past, the present and the future, dedicated to the preservation of New Chum (Wainuiototo) for ever.

Our journey will continue for as long as New Chum (Wainuiototo) is still under threat of development. The catchment behind the beach is privately owned and over the years, there have been several attempts to subdivide.

Development would bring with it houses, people, pets, and recreational vehicles which would destroy the values - isolation, remoteness, pristine vistas and endangered wildlife, that make New Chum (Wainuiototo) unique.

The significant heritage value associated with this land further entrenches the importance of this iconic location, untouched for generations. It also hosts significant forests and native wildlife colonies which add to its outstanding and important coastal value.

As New Chum (Wainuiototo) is recognised as one of the top 3 Wilderness Beaches in the World, this iconic area requires a concerted effort by us all that its protection for future generations is secured.
