The Central Otago District Council is a local government authority serving the Central Otago district in the Otago region of New Zealand, based in Alexandra. It is responsible for facilitating democratic local decision making and delivering essential local infrastructure and public services, along with regulatory functions, with an emphasis on cost efficiency for households and businesses. The council also acts as the leadership body for the district, guiding sustainable management of infrastructure and planning for future needs. Its mandate includes supporting communities to realise their aspirations and delivering services through a coordinated approach with other entities when appropriate. In 2025, CODC awarded a water services facilities contract to TRILITY Pty Ltd, reflecting ongoing infrastructure delivery. The council has engaged in regional collaboration, approving a joint approach to water services delivery with other councils as part of the Southern Water Done Well consultation.
