Wanganui is a delightful provincial city rich in both Maori and European history. The town abounds with historic buildings preserved from the early days of European settlement, along with beautiful parks and gardens.
Wanganui offers people of all ages and abilities the opportunity to succeed. Located on the North Island's sweeping west coast, less than an hour by road to Palmerston North and only 2.5 hours to the nation's capital of Wellington, Wanganui has business opportunities and a lifestyle for everyone.
With a population of 44,000, a stable workforce, temperate climate, ready access to all major highways, as well as rail, air and sea transport, Wanganui attracts a variety of industries, including light manufacturing, heavy engineering, agriculture, food processing and tanning. The education, health and service industries are also significant in the area. Wanganui has evolved to support a hinterland that produces primary products. The District is keen to encourage industries which are complementary to those already in the District, including those which add value to the primary sector.
