Sponsorship
In addition to providing a safe, reliable and efficient network that powers homes and businesses, we are also dedicated to supporting initiatives that make a difference to our community. 'Giving back' is an ideal way for us to celebrate and assist with the wellbeing, growth and development of our region.
Every year Network Waitaki invests in our local community through a wide range of projects, programmes or activities ranging from community health care, maintenance or upgrading of sport facilities through to the greater involvement of those with disabilities, the arts and education.
