Northland Regional Council

Nestled in the heart of Northland, the Northland Regional Council is more than just a local authority; we're your neighbors, working tirelessly to ensure our shared home thrives and flourishes for generations to come. Established in 2013, we've dedicated ourselves to managing the intricate balance between human development and the preservation of our region's unique natural resources. We take pride in our role as stewards of Northland's coastal resources, working diligently to safeguard our stunning coastlines and ensuring they remain pristine for future generations to enjoy. But our responsibility doesn't stop at the shoreline. We're deeply committed to managing the region's air quality, implementing policies that promote cleaner air for all Northlanders. From the lush farms of the Waipapa to the rolling hills of the Far North, we're dedicated to responsible land management. Our team works closely with local farmers and landowners, providing advice and assistance in sustainable farming practices that not only boost productivity but also protect our environment. Navigating the region's complex transportation landscape is no easy feat, but it's a challenge we embrace wholeheartedly. We're actively involved in regional transport planning, striving to create an efficient, safe, and eco-friendly network of roads, railways, and waterways that connect our communities. In times of crisis, the Northland Regional Council steps up as the civil defense coordinator. Our team works round the clock to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all Northlanders, responding swiftly and effectively in the face of emergencies or natural disasters. We're proud of our role in keeping our region safe and resilient. At the Northland Regional Council, we believe that every decision we make today impacts tomorrow. That's why we approach our work with a long-term perspective, balancing the needs of today with the sustainability of tomorrow. We invite you to join us on this journey, as together we shape the future of Northland.
