Southland District Council

Southland District Council manages around 30,979 square kilometres of the Deep South, home to more than 29.000 people. We look after most of Southland (excluding Gore & Invercargill which have their own councils).

Southland District Council is responsible for the day-to-day running of our communities - looking after water, wastewater, stormwater, rubbish, animal control, cemeteries, environmental health, libraries, parks and reserves and roading. Through regulatory services, such as building control and resource management, Council ensures standards are met and our environment is looked after.
