Centrally located in the heart of the Bay of Plenty and surrounded by an abundance of natural resources, the Kawerau District offers a unique lifestyle and business environment.

Kawerau is renowned for its friendliness, great sense of community, wonderful climate and its strong Maori Heritage and has the distinction of being one of the youngest towns in New Zealand. Founded in 1953 the township has been well planned with plenty of parks and reserves, wide tree-lined streets and a leisurely pace of life.

Kawerau is within easy reach of lakes, beaches, forests, major cities and thermal areas and with the Tarawera River right on our doorstep is the first choice as the outdoor and adventure playground of the eastern Bay of Plenty.
