Welcome to the Stratford District! Our beautiful district is located in the heart of Taranaki, and is the gateway to Mt Taranaki / Egmont, Egmont National Park, and the Forgotten World Highway.

Stratford is nestled at the junction of two major roads (SH3 and SH43), and sits on the banks of the Patea River. Known for its Shakespearean theme and stunning parks and gardens, it's worth your while taking some time to explore the district.

The Stratford District Council is proud to be able to serve the people of this dynamic district.
