Transition Town Kaitāia was established in Far North of Aotearoa/NZ in 2009, met monthly until 2019, and was instrumental in setting up Kaitāia Timebank, a local Savings Pool, Māra Kai Community Garden, and EcoCentre – which are all still active!

TTK no longer formally meets but has a monthly newsletter with 200+ readership.  Former TTK members are active across a range of new initiatives: Kaitāia Cycle (food-waste collection & composting), Anō Anō (clothing & resource repurposing), Repair Cafe, Plastic-Free Kaitāia, etc.
