Visit Hurunui’s new campaign – Let’s Have a Yarn – includes a destination management plan to make sure tourism benefits everyone once New Zealand’s borders fully open again.
Marketing manager Shane Adcock said the plan was essential as tourism was growing at an “unprecedented rate prior to the pandemic”.
“In Hurunui, we were just starting to feel the impact of that growth, so we now have a chance to plan ahead and ensure that tourism can grow alongside our communities.”
Fifth generation Hurunui farmer Scotty Bamford, who features in the campaign, said he loved Hurunui, with its beaches, mountains, farmland, and the popular alpine thermal resort in Hanmer Springs.
“You can do a bit of everything and generally not bump into a lot of people”, which Bamford said was “probably New Zealand’s best keep secret”.
Hurunui locals have been asked to provide feedback and ideas for the region’s management plan through in-person sessions or online.
Questions posed to the community included what they loved about the region, what opportunities tourism could provide, what challenges were being faced and what must be protected.
“We really want our communities across Hurunui to have a yarn with us in person, but if they can’t make one of the drop-in sessions, they can spin their own online,” Adcock said.
“We’ve made this really accessible because we do want this to be a destination management plan reflective of our communities.”
Seeing the elderly go without fresh fruit and vegetables led one North Canterbury woman to set up what she hopes will become a nationwide scheme that connects gardeners with excess produce to those most in need.

Julie Lamplugh has set up The SEDE Project in Rangiora and is hoping its success may lead to other communities through-out New Zealand doing the same to help pensioners who may be struggling with the cost of living.
After hearing about 93-year-old Christchurch man Keith Simmonds struggle to afford to eat fresh produce, Lamplugh wanted to help.
“We’ve managed to find a gap where the need isn’t being met.”
A community-led initiative, SEDE which stands for Supporting Elderly Diet Enrichment, aims to coordinate contact between home gardeners and pensioners who would welcome free produce.
The service will also offer isolated elderly residents ongoing contact with people in their neighbourhoods.
