Preserve New Chum for Everyone Inc

We believe that New Chum (Wainuiototo) is special, a ‘taonga’ (treasure), which should remain undeveloped & pristine for future generations.

Nationwide

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.

Preserve New Chum for Everyone would like to give everyone an update on our progress to date.

The Northern Headland of New Chum Beach has been secured and we are now in the structure plan process as dictated by the interim decision of the Environment Court in relation to housing development on the larger block of land directly behind New Chum Beach.

Significant legal expenses are necessary to engage the necessary experts to represent Preserve New Chum for Everyone Inc and all those who have supported this cause for over a decade to preserve and protect this iconic area.

Any donations towards legal fees are gratefully accepted and can be given through the 'general' PNC4E givealittle page: https://givealittle.co.nz/donate/org/preserve-new-chum-for-everyone-inc

Please share the givealittle link. If there are any questions please contact us by email: newchumforeveryone@orcon.net.nz or,
