Living and Working in our District
Manawatū , Tararua, Horowhenua and Ōtaki districts are thriving communities to live and work, combining all the benefits of city and rural life.
Our districts offer affordable living, short commutes, great schools and tertiary education centres. We also boast beautiful rivers, rugged beaches, mountains, nature reserves, walks and cycle ways.
Palmerston North, our district's central base, is an easily-accessible city with a bustling cafe culture. From this point, West Coast and East Coast beaches, North Island ski fields, Hawkes Bay vineyards and our vibrant capital Wellington are all an easy car drive away and all other regions are only up to two-hours' flight away.
