He said that all New Zealanders abroad look out for a capital Z whenever we read
a newspaper or magazine; that we have an instinct for it, almost literally a homing
device, on the off chance it might spell New Zealand.
Steve Braunias quoting John Clarke a.k.a. Fred Dagg

Hastings District Council is a key employer; it’s at the heart of the big projects, economic growth and community wellbeing. Its progressive attitude and rejuvenated culture invite hardworking, forward-thinking team members.

Employees are supported through mentoring; senior staff have a policy of ‘open door’ access; continuing education is encouraged with financial support and study leave provided.

Excellence, integrity, commitment and respect are the core values of the Hastings District Council and these guide its work and its outlook towards staff.

A ten-year plan is developed between the Council and the community to provide direction and a framework, as well financial detailing of future commitments. Every year the plan is revised and updated.

Hastings District covers a large, diverse geographic area. It has one of the most varied environments in New Zealand: from the Pacific coast to urban centres, through to the bush covered ranges. Each environment brings its own set of issues; the work is varied and dynamic.

Being part of the Council means working in the community for the community and every day brings challenges and rewards. Every day the work you do affects the people and places around you.
