Welcome to 2025!

If you’re new to the valley, or have an issue or concern to share, you’re welcome to at our next meeting. Email contact@hunua.org.nz for date and venue details. HAPVRA has two community focussed events planned for February; our Emergency Readiness Workshops (which are free) and our Free Movie Night. Read on!
CCTV Update
The Hunua CCTV system is proving to be highly useful for community safety. With its number plate recognition software, it has already identified nine stolen vehicles in the area to the Police, demonstrating its effectiveness. Plans are underway to expand the system.
Paying it Forward
A special thank you to Zealandia for their generous support at the Ararimu Christmas market, we were able to donate the plants we didn’t sell, to the legends at the Hunua Fire Service.

Movie Night in Hunua – Friday, February 14
Save the date! On 14 February, join us at Hunua Hall from 6 PM for a FREE family-friendly movie night. Bring your chair or blanket/bean bag, sit back, and enjoy the community-voted movie WONKA (2024). A pizza truck will be on-site serving delicious food (bring cash and eftpos), and there will be snacks like popcorn and drinks available. It’s a great way to connect with the community and enjoy a fun evening out. Please note, minors must be supervised by an adult.
Even if you don’t want to watch the movie, come down for the pizza truck!
