The Centuria Taranaki Garden Festival has arrived, and we're thrilled to be supporting it again this year! 🌷

With 40 wonderful gardens to explore, there's plenty to see and discover, including some fascinating stories behind our region's much-loved public parks and gardens.

One of those is Pukekura Park, which celebrated its 150th anniversary this year. As a firm, we share a pretty special history with the park through our founding partner, Clement Govett, and we'd love to share a little of that story with you.

We invite you to join us for an afternoon at The Gables 🍰

📅 Thursday 5 November, 1–4pm
📍 The Gables, Pukekura Park
🌿 Free event, with refreshments provided

Spaces are limited, so please register to secure your spot. We'd love to see you there!

The marvellous Catherine Grogan has been recognised by NZ Lawyer as one of the leading female lawyers across New Zealand and Australia in 2026! 🏆✨

Anyone who knows Catherine knows she has an enormous heart, a great sense of humour and a genuine care for the people around her.

As Partner of our Personal Planning team, she helps families navigate life's big decisions, from succession to estate planning and protecting what matters most. And somehow, between raising four teenagers and a busy legal career, she still finds time to give back through her many board and community roles.

We're incredibly proud of you, Catherine! A very well-deserved recognition. 🫶

Over the weekend we joined the Govett-Brewster Foundation community to celebrate art, nature, sound and connection with the many wonderful businesses and individuals who support the Foundation, all shared across some incredible locally inspired kai or "Forest Feast" from the West End Hospitality group. 🌱🌿

GQ is proud to continue supporting the Foundation, a connection strengthened by our CEO André Nobbs’ role as Foundation Chair, and the important contribution the Foundation and Gallery make to our region’s culture, community and economy.

Today marks 10-years since Senior Associate, Rebecca Eaton joined GQ, and what an impressive decade it’s been.

It’s also a milestone shared in many ways with Partner Lauren Wallace, who she's worked alongside since day one.🤝

Together, they’ve become a powerhouse resource management and local government duo, advocating for clients across Aotearoa on major infrastructure, energy and commercial projects, winning cases in the High Court and Court of Appeal and advising local authorities on significant planning processes, including NPDC’s award-winning District Plan.

Both are highly respected practitioners in their field, with Lauren now President of the national Resource Management Law Association and Rebecca Chair of its Taranaki Branch.

“It’s been an absolute privilege and pleasure to work with Rebecca these past 10 years. She is brilliantly intelligent, kind and pragmatic, loyal and committed to delivering an incredible job whatever the task. REE, you are truly fabulous and I’m so proud of all that we’ve achieved together despite everything life has thrown at us.” - Lauren Wallace

We’re incredibly grateful to have you at GQ Rebecca. Congratulations! 👏
