Selwyn is one of the fastest-growing districts in New Zealand. We have a fantastic quality of life, great communities, and a thriving economy. Our Council works actively with residents to provide the services and facilities that help our communities to thrive and grow.
Our head office is based in Rolleston (only 25km from Christchurch), which offers an enviable family lifestyle, outstanding local facilities, and an easy drive to the ski fields, rivers, and hills that make up Canterbury's stunning landscape.
Our values are important to us and represent the way we work:

We honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and we are committed to working with our Treaty partner to deliver on our obligations under Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
