This long‑standing mahi between DOC and Dulux builds on the achievements of the partnership’s first term, during which hundreds of DOC and community huts and buildings were upgraded with Dulux’s help across the country.
The partnership supports around 500 DOC painting projects across Aotearoa each year. Alongside product, Dulux also contributes funding, technical advice and design expertise to ensure recreational and historic places remain accessible and enjoyable.

Protecting DOC huts
DOC’s iconic huts have provided essential shelter for generations of Kiwi outdoor enthusiasts and international visitors seeking to experience Aotearoa’s landscapes. From alpine regions to coastal settings, these huts face some of the country’s harshest weather conditions. The work through this partnership helps to keep them safe and usable.
Restoring recreational and historic assets
Our partnership continues to grow, with more hands-on projects involving staff from both organisations and supporting volunteer groups to protect and restore important recreational and historic assets. Many of these assets require specialist products, expertise, and technical knowledge to restore them properly, and this is where Dulux adds significant value.
