Starting Friday 15 May, free parking in Millers Acre, Wakatu, Buxton and Montgomery carparks will extend from 1 hour free, to 2 hours free.
👉 To access two free hours of parking drivers will need to either use the app or one of the meters that surround the carparks.
👉 Drivers should note that although the free parking limit has been extended to two hours, the rules for time limited spaces remain the same. For instance, a car can only use the 60 minute spots in Wakatu for an hour.
👉 The two hours can also be split up over the day. By using the meter or the "PayMyPark" app, drivers can split the time into 15 minute segments. For example, a driver could park for 45 minutes in Montgomery Square and then move to Buxton car park for 1 hour 15 minutes later in the day. ... See MoreSee Less

One year ago, something truly special arrived at the Sanctuary — 41 precious kiwi pukupuku ✨
Since then, it’s been an incredible journey. From careful monitoring to those quiet, thrilling moments of discovery, we celebrated our first chicks just before Christmas last year and now estimate that 10–15 have successfully hatched within the Sanctuary. A powerful sign that this tiny, rare kiwi is thriving.
Our night tours have brought visitors closer than ever to these elusive taonga, creating unforgettable experiences and deepening connections to Aotearoa’s unique wildlife.
Every visit, every donation, and every bit of business support help protect not only kiwi pukupuku, but all the species that call the Sanctuary home. Together, we’re building a future where they can continue to grow and flourish in a safe, pest-free environment.
We’re incredibly grateful to our staff, volunteers, and supporters for helping turn this vision into reality.
Here’s to one year of kiwi pukupuku in Whakatū (Nelson) — and many more to come.
🌿✨
