Welcome to the Kaikoura District Council and the local government website for the Kaikoura District of New Zealand. Kaikoura is a Green Globe Certified Community: we are committed to sustaining our environment by managing and improving our impact and were one of the first Councils to adopt a Zero Waste Policy. Our website offers both tourist information for those who visit Kaikoura and community information for local people.
There's always something going on at the Council! Also check out the "Have Your Say" section of our website, this is where we ask your opinion on current matters.
The Restricted Fire Season that had been in place over the district has now been lifted. FIRES MAY BE LIT IN THE OPEN AIR WITHIN THE KAIKOURA DISTRICT BUT PLEASE BE AWARE OF NEW RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BY ENVIRONMENT CANTERBURY - YOU MAY NEED RESOURCE CONSENT TO LIGHT A FIRE IN YOUR AREA.
Some of the items you would normally take to the tip might be somebody else's treasure. You can help us reach our goal of zero waste by checking if you have anything of interest for the waste exchange program.
