Issue 56: Whenua first. Whānau always. Eco-warriors

1st April 2026

This kaupapa lives in Oliver Rankin (Ngāpuhi) of Whenua Maintenance, a South Auckland lawn & garden pakihi built on aroha, manaaki and hard mahi.

🌱 Oliver cares for the whenua, his community, and his kaumātua — building a business that lets him support his elderly father while creating a legacy for his whānau.

From tidy lawns to trusted relationships, Oliver proves: when we care for the land, the land cares for us.

✨ His dream? Grow the business, employ others, and one day own his own home.
