Northland - New Zealand's warmest, subtropical region - stretches from Mangawhai in the south to the country's northernmost tip, Cape Reinga.
The region has twin coasts with no part of Northland being further than 40 km away from pristine beaches, bays and harbours. Vast tracts of forest remain, home to 2000-year-old giant kauri trees. Known as “the birthplace of a nation”, Northland was home to some of New Zealand’s first human inhabitants and was also the location of the country’s original capital. The region saw some of the most significant early interactions between Maori and Pakeha. Today, Northland has a population base of more than 148,500 spread through urban and rural communities on a land area of 13,800 sq km. About 52,000 employees work for over 17,000 businesses and Northland’s gross regional product of $3.4 billion annually represents about 3% of the national total. Northland is attracting new investment and industry development. This growth complements a solid industry base of pastoral farming, tourism, horticulture, forestry and wood processing. Other key sectors include floriculture and the arts. Northland is a great place to visit, live, do business and invest in, check out what is on offer at www.northlandnz.com |
