About Rangiora

Rangiora is a growing town, statistics showing that presently it is one of the fastest growing regions in NZ. As a desirable alternative to, and yet not far away from, the metropolitan areas of Christchurch, part of Rangiora's growth in recent years and predictable growth for the future is due partially to this combination of attractive lifestyle, climate and location.

Rangiora is blessed with a benign micro climate that rivals the sunshine hours of Nelson and Hawkes Bay as well as enjoying clean, healthy air and generally warmer temperatures than neighbouring Christchurch. (Rangiora has the highest recorded temperature in New Zealand, of 42.4 degrees C (7 February, 1973). It is a relatively dry area with an annual average rainfall of between only 500-1000mm.

Surrounded by rivers, coast and countryside, complemented by an exceptional range of local clubs, organisations, and facilities, Rangiora can offer recreation including fishing, boating, swimming, walking, tennis, golf, squash, bowls, cricket , horse-riding and good old' rugby - just to name a few. The Waimakariri population reflects a wealthy, family-orientated district. According to the last national Census almost 45% of the Waimakariri residents are between 30-59 yrs. Rangiora has a delightful balance with its rural history and modern expansion and offers a enriching lifestyle alternative - refreshingly Rangiora!
