Our Settlements

Blueskin Bay is approximately 20 kms north of Dunedin - just over the hill from Port Chalmers.  Waitati is nestled among the other small coastal communities and functions as a 'hub' for the Blueskin Bay community, with a shop, cafe and art gallery (to name a few).  Blueskin is a zone of linked coastal communities, a bounded energy zone (around the Waitati Substation), a diverse food production area, and a geographical area bounded by hills and the sea. There are about 1000 households in all the Blueskin area and 200 of those comprise the settlement of Waitati.
