Positioned on the East Coast, Gisborne is famous for being the first city in the world to see the sunrise each day. The region's known for its great weather, stunning beaches and natural and cultural history.
We love exploring and surfing the waves at Wainui beach. We can slide down Rere rockslide on our boogie boards and cycle the Mōtū trail.
Agriculture has been an important industry in the region since settlement. Forestry, viticulture (wine) and horticulture are also key industries in the region. "Gizzy" is famous as the "Chardonnay Capital of New Zealand". It is home to many award winning wines and cheeses.
It takes all of us to protect Gisborne from biosecurity threats.
