Our Council, Our Community: Meet Vikrant

I love living in Kaipara. My home looks out across the beautiful Kaipara Harbour from the Oneriri Peninsula. It’s a unique spot, with rich history and I feel privileged to call this place home.

I took a mighty gamble accepting a job straight out of university for a place I had never been before – but it was one of the best decisions by far.

Guided by the KDC staff values – mana, mahi tahi, pono, whakaute, mahia te mahi, I get to work with mana whenua, iwi, communities, schools, project managers and KDC staff to support them to fulfil their aspirations.

Ko Lara Stott ahau – I am Lara Stott.   

Born and raised in Kaipara, I have stretched my wings but Kaipara has always been my beacon home. 

Kia ora Kaipara whānau, my name is Katarina!

Kia ora, my name is Logan. Most days, you’ll find me at KDC’s Dargaville or Mangawhai reception.

I help people get to where they want to go by working alongside them to navigate regulations to set up and run their business. 

My role is to attract quality people who share our organisational values to come work at Council.

‘Council staff are part of Kaipara communities, and they deserve to be safe and respected at work’ are the key messages raised in a new campaign being released by Kaipara District Council.

I am so lucky that I meet and work alongside diverse and fabulous people who live, work and play in the Kaipara district and who are passionate about their communities and making this place the best it can be.
