We take pride in managing and nurturing the network of local roads and footpaths that crisscross our beautiful landscape, ensuring they remain safe and well-maintained for all who traverse them. Our water supply system is a testament to our commitment - providing fresh, clean H2O to homes, businesses, and farms across Otago, while also safeguarding our rivers and aquifers. When it comes to waste management, we're committed to promoting recycling and reducing the impact on our environment. Whether it's rubbish or recyclables, you can trust us to handle it responsibly.

Parks and sportsfields form an essential part of our community fabric, providing spaces where friends gather, families play, and athletes push their limits. We work tirelessly to maintain these vital hubs, ensuring they remain accessible, welcoming, and safe for everyone who steps foot on them. Our recreation centres are more than just gyms - they're the heartbeat of our towns. They serve as meeting points, gathering places, and training grounds, fostering a sense of connection and community spirit. Our libraries, too, play an integral role in our district's social fabric, offering knowledge, inspiration, and connection to the wider world within their walls. We believe that a thriving Otago is built on strong foundations - the people who call this place home. As your local authorities, we strive to serve you with integrity, dedication, and a passion for the region we all love. Welcome to Central Otago District Council, where our commitment to your community is as deep as the blue of our skies and as wide as the landscape that surrounds us.
