A great place for families - A great place to live and work

Wanganui offers residents and visitors a wonderful array of scenic attractions,things to do and places to visit. It also offers those who chose to live here, a great place for families and a great place to live and work. We have one of the most temperate climates of any city in the world, a safe environment, superior yet affordable housing, quality education choices and a comprehensive healthcare service.

Wanganui is an ideal place to bring up children. Small enough to develop a real ‘neighbourhood’ approach yet large enough to provide most of the usual attractions for the young (and not so young). The Wanganui District Council’s key focus is on making Wanganui as family friendly as possible and it is committed to playing a direct leadership role in the ongoing development of the District.
