What to Know About West Coast

Key Facts

West Coast is a region located on the western side of New Zealand's South Island, stretching approximately 600 kilometers from the Buller River in the north to the Awarua River in the south. As one of New Zealand's 16 regional councils, it is characterized by its rugged coastline, dense rainforests, and the Southern Alps that form its eastern boundary. With an area of approximately 23,000 square kilometers, it is one of the country's largest regions by land area but has a relatively small population of around 32,000 people. The region is divided into three territorial authorities: the Buller District, Grey District, and Westland District, each encompassing multiple towns and communities. Known for its dramatic landscapes including glaciers, wild beaches, and pristine wilderness areas, the West Coast maintains a strong connection to its gold mining and forestry heritage. This region provides access to postal code information for its constituent districts and their various towns and settlements.
