Dulux New Zealand
Dulux and DOC have been in partnership since 2013. Dulux’s support allows huts, buildings and historic assets to be restored, protected and maintained at scale so they can be enjoyed by future generations.

The long standing joint mahi between DOC and Dulux continues to build on the work of the first term of the partnership where hundreds of DOC and community huts and buildings were protected and enhanced with the support of Dulux nationwide.

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.
