Kirsty McCarthy, Project Lead

I joined the team at Wairarapa Catchment Collective as Project Lead, when the Collective launched in June 2024. I have a strong interest in protecting our environment and helping local communities to thrive. Most of my career has been in a Local Government setting, including business and financial planning, parks and recreation, and community development, with an emphasis on community led development.

I am currently a board member with Divine River Charitable Trust, and have held positions on the Lakeview School Board of Trustees, and Trimble Trust.It's great to be able to use the skills I have gathered over the years to make a contribution to our catchment groups and support the amazing mahi that they are doing.
