About Us

Our district has everything you need and so much more on your doorstep with beaches, mountains and trails easily within reach and just waiting for you to explore. So follow your heart and read on, we’d love to show you why it’s so special.

The Hauraki District stretches from the shelly beaches of Kaiaua and Pukorokoro / Miranda along the Firth of Thames in Tikapa Moana (the Hauraki Gulf) to the white sandy beaches of the Pacific Ocean at Whiritoa.

Between the coasts lies the rich reclaimed dairy lands of the Hauraki Plains, the rugged beauty of the Karangahake Gorge and Kaimai/Coromandel ranges, and the rolling farmlands of the Golden Valley. Our district lies within the rohe of the iwi of Hauraki, stretching from Matakana in the north to Matakana Island in the south.

Dramatic scenery and rural tranquility, arts, crafts, cafés and restaurants, history and heritage, and excellent sports facilities are all to be found in our district. Our range of community facilities includes swimming pools, halls, parks and reserves as well as a full range of utilities.

Our main office is located in the small unique town of Paeroa (famous for L&P) and we also have offices and works depots in Waihi and Ngatea.
