OneCoast Annual General Meeting 2025

The OneCoast AGM is being held on 12 June, at the St John's Church Hall, Beach Street, starting with a light meal at 6pm. Anyone is welcome to join us and talk about the past, present and future of OneCoast. Nominations are open for committee positions and we are always keen to get new members joining us, so if you are interested please get in touch. You will join a really great group of people who make even committee meetings fun!

The following comment is from a recent facebook post that reminds us how we got started. "Seven years ago we didn't have a name or a space or any funds, just a promise from the Dunedin City Council that they would develop the site and allow us to set up a resource recovery centre on it. And a small group of waste-hating, sustainably minded people who were keen to see it happen. Special thanks to the DCC Waste and Environment team, to POWA, to the Transfer Station staff for their support, and to all of you since then who have built us up to where we are today."

Since 2018 we have gone from an undeveloped platform to four containers, an enclosed shelter roof for taking, storing and passing on surplus goods, with the old Rural Rummage Shed set up for bike repairs and rescue. The projects we want to undertake next include creating a proper parking area, more hanging shelves for clothing and working out how to make best use of our platform to create more space for throughput of goods. We also want to examine our resources to see if we can open for longer hours and provide more services, both at the Hub and further afield. Come and join us on Thursday 12th to help us with our plans.
