Kaipātiki Thermal
Offering EOI
Welcome to the home page for the Kaipātiki Thermal Offering Expression of Interest (EOI). This EOI process is for an exciting long-term commercial opportunity to work in partnership with Te Poari o Kaipātiki ki Kaipara (Te Poari) to develop a unique thermal water offering in one of the fastest growing regions in Auckland, just 40mins from the CBD. Many will know this site as the Parakai Hot Springs, located at Kaipātiki (formerly known as the Parakai Recreation Reserve) in the township of Parakai in the South Kaipara region . Te Poari (who is the Co-Governance entity responsible for the oversight and management of Kaipātiki) has initiated this process to identify potential partners who share an interest in working together to develop a unique thermal offering that brings to life the vision for Kaipātiki and delivers on the values of the Treaty partner Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara and the local community.
Vision
“Kaipātiki provides a unique experience that harnesses the healing qualities of the geothermal springs and reflects Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara and local community values.”
