How we can help

Both Te Matau a Pohe and Kotuitui Whitinga can be lit up in beautiful colours at night time.
This is a free service for organisations wanting to commemorate special events.
Please note:
  • Available to organisations only - not individuals or families
  • Events with regional, national or international significance will be given priority
  • Lighting changes must last at least two weeks due to installation time
  • Some colours, such as red and green, are not allowed for navigation safety
  • Due to Te Matau a Pohe bridge being painted a grey colour, not all colours can be created
  • Kotuitui Whitinga has fewer colour restrictions
  • It is not always possible for us to accept every light colouring request.
