Waugh said the spot where the trees were planted would be the ideal place to come an enjoy a picnic lunch.
The certified myrtle rust-free trees were provided by Geoff Canham Consulting.
Canham said the seeds were sourced from Mauao and grown at the company's nursery in Omokoroa.
"It's been a pleasure to work with Envirohub and connect with the community," he said.
About 15 volunteers got stuck in and helped plant the trees in Papamoa.
Volunteer project manager Duncan Newington said the day was "absolutely magnificent".
He said the project allowed for revegetation of ancient dunes and the planting of trees would help protect against climate change.
Newington wanted to thank local iwi for providing the space to be able to plant more trees in the area.
Treemendous Tree Plant People had the option to either buy a tree themselves for $11.50; collect it, and plant it; or buy it and have a volunteer plant it for them.
