It is my pleasure to welcome you to this web gateway to Rangiora, largest town in the District of Waimakariri in North Canterbury, New Zealand. Rangiora is a vibrant town of 12,000 residents, 20 minutes by car to the north of the City of Christchurch and its International Airport. Founded in 1878 Rangiora will shortly celebrate a proud history of 130 years servicing a prosperous farming district. Rangiora offers the tranquillity and quality of life that comes with a semi rural setting with a strong sense of community. Come and visit us soon! Ron Keating, Mayor
