About Us
We are proud to provide services and support to one of New Zealand's fastest growing and thriving communities. With a fast-paced and changing community, we have an array of interesting projects and initiatives and are committed to a significant infrastructure and maintenance work programme which included the recently completed Te Kete Tuhinga (library) and civic centre Te Whare Whakatere.

Employing around 300 staff, we pride ourselves on delivering excellent services to our 36,000 plus residents and visitors alike – ensuring the provision of quality local infrastructure, community services and regulatory functions for both current and future generations.

With stunning scenery, great people, strong communities, and a prosperous economy, we consider Ashburton and the wider mid-Canterbury district a great place to live, work and play.
