Working within Council:

Here at Whangārei District Council, we take genuine pride in having one of New Zealand's most welcoming and supportive work environments, with the awards to prove it. We continually strive to provide the best working environment for our people. Part of this satisfaction comes from knowing we make a difference with the work we do.

Living in Whangārei District:

Whangarei is a district on the rise. It is Northland's only city and largest commercial centre. Nestled between forest clad hills at the heart of the beautiful Whangarei Harbour, nowhere in the district is more than 40 kilometers away from our spectacular coastline and commuting to WDC's CBD location is a breeze.

This is an exciting time for the District, with a growing population and new developments in Whangarei City. We take our reputation as a lifestyle destination very seriously, and there's a lot to make you ‘Love it Here!'
