About Working at ADC
Our District
Our district is a land of surprising contrasts, ranging from a wild coastal fringe through the patchwork of the fertile Canterbury Plains, the foothills and onto the rugged grandeur of the high country and the Southern Alps themselves.
As a district we continue to move ahead with a population, a strong local economy, and outstanding services and infrastructure.
Our district proudly retains its local rural character, yet has opened its arms to diversity and all nationalities; together forging a strong and vibrant community.
As a Council, we make vital contributions to the economic, environmental, cultural and social wellbeing of our community.
We are responsible for finding solutions to local issues, delivering services that benefit our community and planning long term to ensure the sustainability of our community.
If building great communities and playing a part in preserving and enhancing our amazing district for future generations is important to you, we would like to hear from you.
“I enjoy my job and knowing that what I am involved in will benefit the community now and for future generations.”
