Northern region office

The Northern region team in based in Auckland. The office is located in East Tamaki and the staff work with Pacific communities to ensure they are aware  of current government policies and programmes. The northern region extends from Bay of Plenty to Northland.

Our staff engage with the diverse Pacific population in the region, and this allows for community input into government policy as it is developed.

Our newsletter

To ensure communications between government and the Pacific community the Northern region compiles a weekly email update. This weekly newsletter keeps you up to date with what is happening in the Pacific community by listing events, important information and announcements from both central and local government.
