Tasman District, Administrative district in South Island, New Zealand
The Tasman District encompasses 9,616 square kilometers of varied terrain, including coastal areas, mountain ranges, and agricultural lands between Nelson and Marlborough regions.
The district formed in 1989 through the merger of Waimea and Golden Bay counties, later becoming a unitary authority in 1992 with its administrative center in Richmond.
The region maintains strong connections to both Māori heritage, with the Waitaha people arriving in the 12th century, and European settlement following Abel Tasman's discovery.
Residents can access council services through the Antenno mobile application, which enables direct reporting of issues and receiving updates about local developments.
The district contains three national parks within its boundaries: Abel Tasman, Nelson Lakes, and Kahurangi, offering diverse natural environments and recreational opportunities.
