About Promote Waipu
Community-led, community-funded, community-proud
Who We Are
Promote Waipu, officially known as Waipu Business and Community Inc, is a non-profit community group with all proceeds from our activities fed directly back into the Waipu community.
Our committee is made up of passionate business people and local residents all with a strong community spirit. While we do have our own range of entertaining events — such as the ever-popular Christmas Eve Street Parade, five massive Street & Park Markets throughout the year, and the Winter in Waipu programme throughout July — we pride ourselves on being the only local organisation focused on supporting and promoting the entire Waipu community.
We also successfully manage and/or support local beautification projects and have good lines of communication with local bodies and Government Agencies. Our ultimate goal is to assist in promoting Waipu as the most desirable place to live, work and play!
Promote Waipu actively encourages community participation — by volunteering at local events, becoming a Promote Waipu business member (our base website listing is free to all Waipu-based businesses), or joining our friendly committee. We'd love you to be part of our wider family!
