Quality Lifestyle

  • Living in the Wellington region is enjoyable and people feel safe. A variety of lifestyles can be pursued. Our art, sport, recreation and entertainment scenes are enjoyed by all community members – and attract visitors

Sense of Place

  • We have a deep sense of pride in the Wellington region. We value its unique characteristics – it’s rural, urban and harbour landscapes, its climate, its central location, and its capital city.

Prosperous Community

  • All members of our community prosper from a strong and growing economy. A thriving business sector attracts and retains a skilled and productive workforce.

Prepared Community

Entrepreneurial and Innovative Region

  • Innovation and new endeavours are welcomed and encouraged. Ideas are exchanged across all sectors, resulting in a creative business culture. We have excellent education and research institutions, and benefit from being the seat of government.

Healthy community
