Whanganui District Council

Largely undiscovered to most New Zealanders and other visitors and investors, Wanganui is a thriving and vibrant city, holding true to steadfast values in a modern era. Our river, nature, heritage, arts, culture and sport are the cornerstones of our community. Wanganui is a delightful provincial city rich in both Maori and European history and culture. The town abounds with historic buildings, preserved from the early days of European settlement, along with beautiful parks and gardens.
