🏆 We're award-winning!

Te Puna Creative Innovation Quarter here in Te Kōpua Henderson has just picked up a 2026 Gold Award for Excellence in Economic Development from the International Economic Development Council (IEDC), in the Multi-Year Collaborative Economic Development category.

New to our mahi? Here's the quick version 👇
Te Puna is a partnership between Auckland Council and Te Kawerau ā Maki, established in 2022. It's part of a much bigger vision to grow west Auckland as a creative and innovation hub, linking Henderson town centre, Corban Estate Arts Centre and Auckland Film Studios into one connected creative quarter.
At the heart of it is Te Puna Creative Hub.

This gold award recognises years of work coordinating public, private and iwi investment to build real pathways into the creative industries for our community.

Ngā mihi nui to everyone who's been part of the journey so far.

✨ NIGHT OF IDEAS ✨
 
Aotearoa’s builders, thinkers and makers gather in the spirit of Tāmaki Makaurau — fusing creativity, conversation and culture to shape what’s next.
 
This month’s big idea: AI and Human Creativity
How is creativity (with AI) showing up in real life — in our art, stories, businesses, and ideas? 
A night about curiosity over fear, exploring AI through a human lens: practical, playful, personal.
Expect bold conversations, live art, music and performance — plus plenty of space to connect with fellow thinkers and doers.
🗓️ 22nd July
📍 Te Puna Creative Hub
All ideas welcome. All voices valued. See you there!
