Episode Details

A beloved community hub in South Auckland is shutting down as its landlord, Kainga Ora, plans to redevelop the land for housing. The Enviro-hub, home to six charities focused on environmental cleanup and affordable food, has been a vital space for local youth—seen as a positive force in an area where alternatives are scarce. Coordinators and teens alike are heartbroken by the closure, arguing the lease was meant to be long-term and that officials underestimate the hub’s impact. While Kainga Ora acknowledges the hub’s value and offers help relocating, they stand by their position that the lease was always temporary. One group is now considering taking the issue to Parliament as the community grapples with losing a cornerstone of neighborhood life.
