Community Associations and Groups

Kā rōpū o te Hapori

There are many community associations across our district who actively represent and advocate for the needs and interests of their local community. We're also lucky to have a wide range of community groups and services on offer to support how we live, work and play.

Newcomers guide

It can be a challenge moving to a new place, but it can be a great adventure too. If you're new to the district, we'd love to help you settle in. Take a look at our Newcomers Guide to the District below - it's full of good old local knowledge and tips for getting set up.

Another great resource is the New Zealand Now website which provides insights into living & working in New Zealand: www.newzealandnow.govt.nz
