South Taranaki District Council

Welcome to South Taranaki District Council, your dedicated partner in the heart of beautiful Taranaki. Established in 2013, we are more than just a local authority – we're your neighbours, your friends, and your guide through the vibrant tapestry of our district. Our passion lies in ensuring our district thrives, from the maintenance of local roads and footpaths to the nurturing of our rich arts scene. Our Arts Co-ordinator is always on the lookout for new talent, fostering a creative spirit that echoes through our townships. We take pride in preserving Taranaki's unique heritage while driving progress towards a sustainable future. When it comes to building your dream home or business, our Building Consents team is here to make the process as smooth as possible. We understand that every project is unique, and we work tirelessly to ensure your vision becomes a reality. But we're not just about big projects – we care for the little things too. From managing abandoned vehicles to ensuring our streets are clean and safe through rubbish and recycling initiatives, we're committed to making Taranaki a pleasant place to live, work, and play. Of course, life isn't all work and no play! We love celebrating with our community, which is why we take great care in granting alcohol licenses for those special occasions. Whether it's a wedding, a milestone birthday, or a company event, we want to help you make memories that last a lifetime. Lastly, we are proud stewards of the natural beauty that surrounds us. Our Animal Management team works tirelessly to ensure our four-legged friends are safe and happy, while also promoting responsible pet ownership. Join us in celebrating all that South Taranaki District Council has to offer – because here, you're not just a number; you're part of the family. Let's shape our future together!
