Hi Andrew,
 
Please see some notes to brief Campbell for the interview. I have requested the total budget cost. It’s not high
relative to other Council projects.
 
Thanks,

Great, thanks Kat.
 
Heads up that Nicholas Boyack will be along on Friday afternoon with a photographer – will likely do a video with it
as well.
 
He wants to know how Mouri Tupu is being paid for and will likely ask why we are planting shrubs as well as trees.
@Kat it would be good to touch base when you’re back tomorrow morning.

It could possibly be done via the ongoing Indigenous biodiversity funding which commences in July 2024. What is
your view Andrea?

Thanks, that’s great.
 
Andrew had a question re: the Mayor giving our seedlings at the citizenship ceremonies. “We have about 200
people through each one this year. Are we able to get that many seedlings for each one?”
 
Is that something we can accommodate within the project budget?
 
Thanks,
Kat

Hi,
 
As I understand it, we will pick up the costs of the day from non-routine (including photographer) but catering will
be picked up by the Mayor’s office.
 
Let me know if I have missed something.

Hey Andrea,
 
Charlotte said she’s happy to cover the catering cost after I showed her the quote from Eastbourne Eats, so we
should be OK unless you think it’s not the right fit. In reality we’re only expecting a handful of kids there and
mostly adults, but I definitely take your point and we can find a cheaper option.
 
Thanks,
Kat

Hi all. there is budget for this from July 1 with parks and reserves. in the interm arthur can you absorb? I think
catering cost is v high and probably not appropriate spend especially when includes lots of kids.  suggest we look
for alternatives. if needed happy to arrange pick up from naenae bakery or similar.

Thanks.  I have had a quote from our photographer Mark Tantrum for $340 for taking pics on Friday. I’m not sure
whose budget that would come out or whether the project has budget to cover marketing/comms costs. Could
someone let me know?

Kia ora Kat,
 
Thanks for the updates.
 
The competition is a great idea, really like the idea of getting the kids involved with this – and it gives the Mayor
plenty of opportunities to get into schools and check out the progress being made on their gardens. Keen to see a
more fleshed out plan for this.
 
The comms plan is looking good. Great to see some planning for content beyond the initial launch – excited to see
how this all ends up looking.
 
With the Citizenship Ceremonies, we have about 200 people through each one this year. Are we able to get that
many seedlings for each one?
 
And the graphic is shaping up nicely, well done!

Hey Charlotte,
 
I’ll forward you the quote I got from Eastbourne Eats- their prices may be higher than our usual suppliers, I’m not
sure as this is my first catering request. I’m happy to go with a cheaper option. FYI Eastbourne Eats was
recommended to me by Caryn Ellis, whose kids went to the kindy and is still quite involved with them.
 
Thanks,
Kat

Thanks Kat – this all sounds good to me but will defer to Andrew on the comms specific bits. I like the competition
idea and the graphic is shaping up great, thank you!
 
On catering costs – how many people are we catering for? We normally try to spend around $300 on our
stakeholder catering and that’s usually between 30-60 people. Happy to spend more just want to get a sense of
numbers (and not waste any food!)
 
Thanks again, really great to see this!

Kia ora Andrew & Charlotte,
 
I appreciate your patience in my response. I’m just bullet-pointing various things to address:
 
1.  I’ve updated the comms plan, added this year’s citizenship ceremonies as further opportunities to give
away plants, and fleshed out some content ideas.
2.  You both said you wanted a “stronger ask” of the community to get out planting in the media release and
the campaign. I’ve thought hard about how to frame this, as we are not offering to supply plants to
everyone, and it feels like there is an incentive for the community missing. One idea I’ve had is running a
competition for tamariki, that schools/ECEs could choose to get behind, to find Lower Hutt’s greenest
thumbed kids. They could share what they are planting in their gardens at schools/ECEs, and the Mayor
could visit them, get some pics, gift some plants, and ultimately choose the school/classroom he thinks is
giving it the best go. They could win a bunch of plants for the school, or vocuhers for some good gardening
gear for the kids. Please let me know what you think, and I can flesh this out more.
3.  Catering costs. Are you happy with paying approx. $630 for the catering? It will be supplied by Eastbourne
Eats, a local company and run by someone who went to East Harbour Kindy. They are not a registered
supplier, I hope that is OK.
4.  The graphic- yes we will include figures- that was a very rough draft. The below is also still a draft sorry, but
with more detail. Mitchell says he will be able to supply a final design on Wednesday afternoon.

Kia ora Kat,
 
Thanks for sending this all through, and I appreciate the effort and work that has gone into pulling this together.  I
have some feedback on both the comms plan and the media release.
 
Comms plan:
Overall, this is a strong plan for a campaign. The concern (acknowledging you have noted the graphic will be
posted/updated every 10k of planting) is that we have a really strong look for the first six weeks, but there’s
a risk this project will fall away and be out of sight, out of mind before coming back up again this time next
year. The Mayor will want to see/know there is a plan in place following this first six weeks of activations.
Happy to help with this.
Really love the name and narrative! For the English tagline, our preference is Mouri Tupu – Planting for our
future



The graphic looks good – and I like the idea of it – we just need to add some numbers in it for context. The
idea of the growing tree towards the 114k goal is nice, but want to make sure it’s quantifiable for the
audience.
 
Media release:
Good draft!
The key message out of this is it’s a call to action for the community to join the Mayor in reaching this 114k
goal on top of the launch of the campaign. I think we could start it with something along the lines of “We
want you to plant around our city! The Mayor launched a community campaign etc.”
Thanks for drafting the Mayor’s quotes – will have a play around with what he says
 
Happy to discuss this further.

On your questions re the kindy event – v happy to put forward some budget for catering. I think we should be
inviting ECB members, councillors and GW reps. Is there anything else you need on logistics from our end for the
launch event?
 
Thanks!

Kia ora Charlotte & Andrew,
 
Thanks for your patience on this. Andrew, we can talk more at our project meeting tomorrow, but please let us
know if either of you want to have a meeting to catch up on this.
 
1.  Please find the communications and engagement plan for the project here:   Planting campaign
communications and engagement plan.docx
2.  The media release is here:   Mouri Tupu PR.docx I welcome any feedback or suggestions.
3.  The name. Kaanihi has gifted a beautiful name, Mouri Tupu, which is explained in the comms plan and PR. It
needs to be followed by an English tagline. We would like to suggest the following. Can you let us know
your preference?
a.   Mouri Tupu – Planting for our future
b.  Mouri Tupu – Growing the future
4.  I have attached an initial draft design of the visual planting tracker we will use to update the public on
planting progress. All feedback is welcome!
5.  The launch event next Friday 19 April 1pm-3pm at East Harbour Kindergarten:
a.  I will supply a separate event schedule for this.
b.  Dave Burgess is working on a media plan and is planning to invite Nicholas Boyack and the
Eastbourne Herald.
c.  Can you please advise if you have any budget to get catering for afternoon tea?
d.  Can you please let me know if you want to invite any other HCC elected members, GWRC elected
members or members of the Eastbourne Community Board? There will be whanau from the Kindy
there. We won’t need that many people to help plant the area selected but key stakeholders would
be welcome, especially as we are counting GW’s plants in our tally.

MEDIA RELEASE – Embargoed until 3pm on Friday 19 April 
 
Lower Hutt sets ambitious planting target through Mouri Tupu 

 
Lower Hutt Mayor Campbell Barry today formally launched Mouri Tupu – Planting for the 
Future, and he is cal ing on the community to pick up a spade and join in. 
 
Mouri Tupu is a community campaign to plant 114,000 native trees and plants and inspire 
citizens to get out planting and help reach the target. 
 
It wil  deliver the Mayor’s 2022 campaign pledge to plant one native tree or plant for every 
citizen of Te Awa Kairangi ki Tai Lower Hutt.   
 
To date more than 30,000 natives have been planted across Lower Hutt since October 2022, 
by Hutt City Council, Greater Wellington and other partners, and community organisations.   
 
“Trees are our environment’s lungs, and by doing more planting we can mitigate our city 
emissions and enhance our places and spaces. This ambitious city goal can only be achieved 
by al  of us working together. 
 
“By planting these trees and other plants, we will leave a greener legacy for our tamariki 
and mokopuna and wil  help teach the value of protecting and enhancing our environment.” 
he said at a community planting event at East Harbour Kindergarten on Friday.   
 
Mouri Tupu roughly translates to recognising that everything has the potential to grow and 
thrive, powered by the energy that flows through al  things, and sustained by our interaction 
and care of it.   
 
“This is why we are committed to ensuring a community in which everyone thrives; and we 
can only thrive if we look after our  environment,” said the Mayor.   
 
Hutt City Council has provided more than 20,000 plants to community groups in this 
triennium and has committed to increasing its own planting on Council land. A community 
planting event will be held in Korounui Stokes Valley at Delaney Park on Saturday 6 July.   
 
There wil  be more opportunities for community to get involved as the campaign rol s out.   
 
The Council is encouraging the community to share their planting projects, which they can 
pin on an interactive map of the city. The campaign progress will be updated regularly on 
Council’s website and social media channels. 
 
“We have lots of great local groups who volunteer their time planting, and we are rolling up 
our sleeves to join them,” said Mayor Barry.   
 
“I would love to to see the wider community join us in making Lower Hutt a greener city.”

Media release - Lower Hutt sets ambitious planting target through Mouri Tupu.docx
Kia ora Nicholas,
 
Have attached the media release which we will be sending out following the event (3pm), so if
you could hold off on publishing until then that would be great.
 
To answer your question about cost: $250,000 from the Draft LTP, which includes salary for the
new Community Ranger to help implement the biodiversity strategy.
 
There is more information about Mouri Tupu available here as well: Mouri Tupu - Planting for

Kia ora Louise,
 
Mayor Campbell Barry is formally launched Mouri Tupu – Planting for the future on Friday afternoon at East
Harbour Kindergarten. This campaign is aimed at planting a native tree or plant for every Lower Hutt citizen. This
will be happening from 1-3pm this Friday (19 April).
 
Is this a story you would be interested in? We will be sending out a media release following the planting but it’s a
good opportunity to speak to the Mayor about the campaign.
 
Let me know if you would like to attend and I can send you more information.
