Kaikoura District Council

Few places in the world can boast of such natural wonders as those offered by land and sea in Kaikoura.

The seaside settlement of Kaikoura, situated midway between Christchurch and Picton on the rugged east coast of New Zealand's South Island, is overlooked by majestic mountains, which are snow-capped for many months of the year.

The Kaikoura District Council is proud to be the first local authority in the world, and the second community in the world, to achieve Green Globe certification in recognition of their commitment to protecting the environment and working towards sustainability for residents and visitors, and for the generations to come.
