West Coast Regional Council was established in November 1989 through the amalgamation of 14 different bodies that previously held regional and resource management responsibilities. The council serves the West Coast region, which stretches 600 kilometres from Kahurangi Point in the north to Awarua Point in the south.
West Coast Regional Council works with local communities to support the region as a place to live, work, and conduct business. The council’s responsibilities include managing the region’s land, air, and water resources, as well as coordinating transport and emergency management functions. The organisation describes its approach as forward-looking, progressive, and innovative, emphasising collaboration with communities across the West Coast region.
