Community is in our DNA. From Cairns to Christchurch, our team members show up for the places they call home, cheering on local sport, backing local causes, and finding countless ways to give something back to the neighbourhoods where they live and work.
SOUTH AUSTRALIA
NEW SOUTH WALES
This spirit plays out in thousands of ways each year: community groups firing up sausage sizzles outside our stores, volunteers rolling up their sleeves, local partnerships taking root, and national campaigns rallying support right across Australia and New Zealand. With our customers, suppliers and community partners standing alongside us, the impact travels well beyond our car parks and into the communities that need it most.

This year, that impact added up to more than $72 million raised and contributed for communities across Australia and New Zealand. A huge part of that came from the more than 37,000 sausage sizzles held outside our stores throughout the year, a simple tradition that brings people together, strengthens local ties and gives community groups a genuine platform to raise funds for the causes they care about most. We were also proud to back some outstanding national charity partners. In Australia, our customers helped raise $2.55 million for FightMND and packed an incredible 109,000 bags for Share the Dignity’s It’s in the Bag campaign. Across New Zealand, we kept backing the causes that build stronger communities, from grassroots sport to mental health awareness and programs helping young people learn and thrive.
None of this happens without the community groups and organisations who pour their time, energy and heart into their local areas, and we want to say a genuine thank you for everything you do. Thanks too to our team members, customers, suppliers and partners for everything you brought to the table this year. Together, we’re building communities that are stronger, more connected and more resilient, and we can’t wait to see what we achieve next.

Working Together for Community Wellbeing Local Bunnings team members partnered with Otakanini Haranui Marae to support a range of community projects designed to benefit the wider community. Together, they built new garden beds, a windbreak and a community pantry to help share the crops grown on site, while also maintaining an orchard established earlier in the year. The project strengthened community connections and provided an opportunity for team members to learn more about Māori culture while supporting the Marae’s long-term wellbeing initiatives.
In New Zealand, Bunnings introduced saveBOARD 2Faced panels into 25 stores, helping turn soft plastic packaging into a practical building product. Made from 100% post-consumer soft plastic collected through the NZ Soft Plastic Recycling Scheme, saveBOARD gives materials that may otherwise go to landfill a new purpose.

Each board contains around 12.5 kilograms of soft plastic, showing how everyday recycling can be turned into something useful for homes, projects and communities.
