In 2019, Xyst was engaged by NZTA to organise and coordinate two Blessing ceremonies for two new roading developments: for the Watchman Road redevelopment and at the Pākōwhai-Links Road roundabout, near Napier, Hawkes Bay. The Blessings were held separately, at the respective locations, at different times. The events were organised and promoted with full local iwi engagement, and invitations were distributions to the many key stakeholders, project contractors and neighbouring communities involved.
