Welcome

Whakatane is located in one of the most beautiful areas of New Zealand. The climate is temperate and the lifestyle values and infrastructure make this area a particularly attractive location. Significant opportunities exist for business growth and development in the Whakatane district.

The Whakatane District Council is committed to providing an environment, which encourages economic development and looks forward to working with commercial or industrial organisations wishing to assess potential investment opportunities in the District.

Modern communication technology means it is entirely possible to escape from the city-bound stresses of traffic, noise, pollution and expensive housing and office rents. Many people are now choosing to relocate and buy or set up business in places where life can be enjoyed.

By any measure of lifestyle opportunities, Whakatane has few peers. The climate is superb and every year Whakatane ranks near or at the top in the national sunshine-hours stakes. Outdoor activities play a large part in the lives of the people of the district and there are well-established clubs and facilities catering for a huge range of activities.

If you are visiting or planning to work and live here we extend a very warm welcome. Visit www.liveintheeasternbay.co.nz for all the information you need if you are considering a move here. For business support services visit www.toi-eda.co.nz.
