Whanganui District  is situated on the south-western coast of the North Island and is centred on the Whanganui River, with Whanganui city at the river mouth. With its south-western boundary consisting of Tasman Sea coastline, the district has four territorial authority neighbours: Ruapehu District to the north, Rangitikei District to the east, and South Taranaki and Stratford Districts to the west. 
Our lifestyle - affordable housing, tight-knit communities, rural and urban living options, lack of traffic congestion, an abundance of outdoor activities, large student population, excellent education, centrally located, within easy reach of Wellington, New Plymouth, Palmerston North and Napier - there's no need to elaborate - our easygoing way of life speaks for itself.

Our heritage - study the architecture of our beautiful historic buildings preserved from the early days of European settlement, take five in our parks and gardens, or discover our arts and culture scene at the Sarjeant Gallery or local museum. Whatever tickles your fancy, you'll find Whanganui is rich in both Maori and European history and culture.

Our education - our reputation for providing the best education in the country is aided by our outstanding facilities, and our endless variety of creative activities and events.

Our surroundings - from the iconic river that flows from the majestic mountains to the tempestuous Tasman Sea, to our climate, beaches, mountains on the horizon, new river walkway/cycleway, antique shops and gorgeous architecture, our unique surroundings ensure the outdoors play a big role in our lifestyle.

Due to its location and environment, New Zealand faces many potential disasters. In some cases, such as a weather-related or volcanic disaster, there may be time for a warning,  but an earthquake could strike without warning.  All disasters have the potential to cause disruption, damage property, and take lives,  so it's vital that you prepare now.

Will you cope when disaster strikes?  Be prepared ... disaster can strike at any time and often without warning.

Greater Wellington Regional Council promotes Quality for Life by ensuring our environment is protected while meeting the economic, cultural and social needs of the community.

Our specific responsibilities include environment management, flood protection and land management, provision of regional parks, public transport planning and funding, and metropolitan water supply.

The Council is responsible for developing policies that direct the activities of the Greater Wellington & Wairarapa. Various Acts of Parliament, such as the Local Government Act and the Resource Management Act state what activities the Council should, or may, be involved with. It is the Councillors' role to decide how the activities should be carried out.

## Biosecurity
Biosecurity (pest animals and pest plants)is about protecting our environment, economy and way of life from the harmful impacts of pests and diseases. Greater Wellington works with landowners to target regional pest plants and animals and helps the rural economy by controlling possums to stop the spread of bovine Tb.

## Emergency management
We co-ordinate the Civil Defence Emergency Management Group for the region. We work together to minimise the potential effects of emergencies, prepare ourselves and the community, respond to emergencies and help the community to recover.

## Environment
The region's natural resources - land, water, air, energy - sustain our lives. We help people to use these resources appropriately and sustainably.

## Flood protection
The region's many rivers mean homes, farmland, jobs, livelihoods and property can be at risk from flooding. We help communities protect themselves from the effects of flooding.

## Land management
Soil erosion can be prevented or reduced by improving the way the land is used, perhaps by planting trees, by changing management systems, or by allowing native bush to grow in areas that are at risk from erosion. We work with landowners to control soil erosion.

## Parks and forests
We maintain a network of regional parks and forests, enjoyed by thousands of people every year. We also look after their environmental and historical features.

## Pollution control
We maintain a 24-hour incident response service, conduct environmental assessments of industrial and commercial sites, and maintain a register of sites with hazardous industries or activities. To report a pollution incident, phone 04-384 5708, or freephone 0800 4WN REG.

## Transport
We fund bus and train services, we plan the roading network and we build public transport infrastructure. Greater Wellington spends about $30 million each year subsidising public transport.

## Water supply
Greater Wellington collects and treats all the drinking water used in Wairarapa.
