Kawerau District Council

Our culture is built on trust and respect. Our vision is to create a resilient and sustainable Kawerau district that can meet the needs of the future.

Centrally located in the heart of the Bay of Plenty at the feet of Putauaki and alongside the pristine Tarawera river, Kawerau is renowned for its great sense of community, rich multi-cultural heritage, beautiful tree-lined streets, parks and reserves. Within easy reach of lakes, beaches, forests, snow, thermal regions and cities, it is a great base for both the adventure seeker and those who enjoy natural surroundings at a quieter pace.
