Te Aro Zero Waste is a space for community connection, resourcefulness, and climate action. We welcome bookings that align with our kaupapa—think workshops, hui, and events focused on sustainability, circular thinking, and skill-sharing.
We value diversity and inclusion, and we do not hire the space for events that involve hate speech, discrimination, or exclusionary practices.
We also don’t hire for parties or events that promote fossil fuels, overconsumption, or create unnecessary waste (talk to us about ways to reduce waste at your event).
