Source-backed accounts of Vector Group’s work in Te Puke and the Western Bay — for community members, funders, council, researchers, and anyone tracing our digital and social-sector lineage.
These pages are published in good faith with citations to founder archives, Internet Archive captures, council submissions, and public reporting. We welcome factual corrections via our contact page.
Full documented timeline from tepukedirectory.co.nz (January 2017) through tepuke.travel to kiwifruit.capital and tepuke.online — collaboration, council record, funding, EPIC comparison, and platform migration. Includes selected Wayback evidence.
VGCT annual and long-term plan published 19 December 2016 — youth centre, Te Puke Directory, tourism, training, and community infrastructure aligned to Western Bay plans. Restored public record.
What Vector Group has built since 2011 — food forests, pātaka kai, propagation, education, and digital platforms — and why we are asking for consultation on regional kai planning, MKMO, and Colab.
Vector Group Charitable Trust operates youth development, kai resilience, community programmes, and regional digital infrastructure under one charitable mandate (CC45966). Transparency pages document what we built first, what we submitted to council, and how that lineage continues today — without requiring visitors to piece the story together from scattered blog posts.
Additional accountability pieces (for example open letters where collaboration and public funding diverge) will be listed here when published.
Organisations named in our transparency statements may request corrections with verifiable sources. Use the contact form.
