The Far North District Council is a government administration entity serving the Far North region of New Zealand, based in Kaikohe, Northland. It manages infrastructure and services across a large district—more than 7,000 square kilometres with a 1,800-kilometre coastline—to support economic progress and social well-being amid a dispersed population. The council operates under a long-term vision called He Whenua Rangatira, guiding its planning and day-to-day work and emphasizing engagement with local communities and Tangata Whenua.

As one of the country’s larger and more diverse territorial authorities, it faces substantial infrastructure demands with a finite rating base, addressed through careful planning and execution. In April 2026, the council was recognized at the New Zealand Planning Institute awards with the Supreme Award for excellence in planning and a Best Practice Award for Strategic or Non-Statutory Planning, underscoring its collaborative approach to planning.
