Porirua City, pictured above, is nestled in a stunning harbour setting just 20 minutes north of New Zealand’s capital, Wellington.
Extending from Kenepuru Drive in the south to Pukerua Bay in the north, from Titahi Bay on the coast to Judgeford in the east, Porirua is a young city with a reputation for energy, creativity and talent.
Porirua City's diverse population of 50,300 people* boasts the fourth highest average household income in New Zealand.
With more than 56 kilometres of picturesque coastline, the city is an aquatic paradise – offering fishing, boating, windsurfing, scuba diving, swimming or relaxation by the beach.
It is also fast becoming the region’s premier shopping destination. The bulk retail Mega Centre, well-established North City Shopping Centre, friendly shopping under the Canopies and the vibrant Saturday morning market – attract shoppers from throughout the lower North Island.
