Taupō District Council’s vision is to build a community of trust by being the best we can. Located in the Central North Island of New Zealand, surrounded by native forest, stunning national parks and the clear blue waters of Great Lake Taupō, it truly is an inspiring place to live and work. The community is the heart and soul of the district. We work progressively to fulfill our community’s needs through innovation, integrity, respect, communication, customer focus and leadership. The Taupō District is an extraordinary place to live, work and raise a family. We are the custodians of this land and like generations before us who raised families and dedicated their lives to making this place what it is today, we take responsibility for steering the way forward for future generations. It is true that home is where the heart is. It's that sense of belonging to a place and a community that gives comfort and instils a sense of purpose. We are fortunate to live in such a stunning place and we continue that tradition of stewardship. We have a shared commitment and a strong sense of responsibility to nurture and sensibly grow this district for future generations. Located in the heart of New Zealand's North Island, the Taupō District is in the centre of it all. The region has world-class natural attractions: Australasia's largest freshwater lake, a dual World Heritage national park hosting one of the best one-day walks in the world - the Tongariro Alpine Crossing and New Zealand's most visited natural attraction, the mighty Huka Falls. Our district is made up of many diverse communities; that pride in diversity is what knits us together. Every day brings new opportunities when you are part of our team at Taupō District Council. Our diverse organisation is recognised for its vibrant energy, optimism for the future, ambition to act boldly and willingness to do things differently to secure the best result.
