New Plymouth District Council
Our vision for New Plymouth District is to be the Sustainable Lifestyle Capital. We have a great starting point, our district offers so much – spectacular natural beauty from Taranaki Maunga to the moana, thriving towns and communities, a productive rural sector, some excellent recreational and cultural facilities and of course great people. We know it’s true and now it’s confirmed – we’re living in the Most Liveable City in the world! In 2021, New Plymouth was awarded the most liveable city (for a population between 75,000-150,000) by the International Awards for Liveable Communities. Our vision, mission and goals help us to prioritise what services to deliver to our community. They are the outcomes that we want to see locally – achieving them is not just a task for us though and require iwi, Government, not-for-profits and businesses to come together to achieve these outcomes.
