  • Our Plan

    Economic studies around the globe consistently link entrepreneurship, with job creation, GDP growth and long term productivity increases.
  • Innovation On Purpose

    We offer an hour free business planning consultation for your business or ‘big idea’. 
  • Case Management Services

    The Kaipara District is a refuge for people who want to live an authentic life yet live less than two hours from Auckland.
  • Tourism in the Kaipara

    The Kaipara District Council has recently upgraded infrastructure such as new public toilets in Mangawhai, Kaiwaka, and Kai Iwi Lakes along with funding a community project to rehabilitate the riverbank at Kaiwaka and create a pedestrian underpass at State Highway One.

          We wish to showcase the Kauri Coast and facilitate walking and cycling infrastructure to improve visitor experience.  We support the national cycleway ‘great rides strategy ’ and agree with the West Coast route.                                                      
         Climate, Soil, and Crop Information for identifying potential land-use change in the Hokianga and Western Kaipara Region.
