Taranaki Mounga s Sean Zieltjes, Taft s Tetsu Garnett and Suzanne Porter and VT s Brylee Flutey and Sophie Kelly are just a handful of the hundreds of people who have help bring Taranaki s story together.
An initiative to showcase Taranaki to the world has finally been launched after being put on hold due to Covid-19. Paid for with a grant from the Provincial Growth Fund (PGF), Taranaki Story is project led by a series of seven videos, each telling a story about the region, to support the profile of the province across Aotearoa, and the world.
