The West Coast Regional Council helps West Coast communities, businesses, industries and other groups in the region to live and work with our natural resources. Our work guides and supports the sustainable development of the West Coast through the management of air, land, water and coastal resources. We also co-ordinate Civil Defence, transport and economic development and are committed to creating a community that encourages discussion, self-expression and mirrors the values and mission of the West Coast Regional Council including being responsible, effective and respectful.
