The New Plymouth District Council manages the environmental, social, economic and cultural well-being of the New Plymouth District - the main population base of the Taranaki region of New Zealand.
Through consultation with the community the Council sets policies and bylaws which are regularly monitored and reviewed according to need, community feedback and central government regulations.
Operating under the Local Government Act 2002 (which provides the general framework and powers a council has), the Council makes decisions for and on behalf of the local community and sets the district’s overall strategic direction.
The Council is recognised as a vibrant and supportive employer, and offers a fantastically diverse range of opportunities, from working in some of New Zealand's most beautiful parks to delivering spectacular events, to working at one of the country's top contemporary art galleries.
