Inside our organisation, we are committed to building and nurturing an inclusive culture where everyone feels they belong. Wellington City Council will be a place where everyone feels included at work and works in an inclusive way. We will continue to grow, value, and celebrate our diversity, harnessing the unique contribution we each bring. We will care for our people and their whānau, and put their wellbeing first.
One of the best things about working at the Council is the people. We’re passionate and committed and we care about our city and community. We’re proud of our mahi and every day we see how the work we do helps make Pōneke a better place to live, work and play – from our libraries to our parks and gardens to our pools and streets.
Our people love that they’re making an impact – we help keep our city safe and we are kaitiaki for our people, our places and our environment, protecting them for future generations.
Our people feel cared for – they know their health, safety and wellbeing are supported and we take that commitment seriously.
Like our city, our mahi (work) is diverse and exciting. Our people feel encouraged to learn, grow and develop. And we’re on that journey too – we’re always improving and looking at how we can be more creative, diverse and inclusive, so we all feel like we belong here.

At the Council, we have a clear unifying purpose:
Kia mahi ngātahi mō Pōneke mō tōna āpōpō. Working together for Wellington's future.
Wellington is a vibrant city with a thriving cultural life, talented people, and cutting-edge businesses.
Known as the arts and events capital of New Zealand, the city has an abundance of recreation and leisure opportunities. It is also a compact city with a dramatic landscape and sound infrastructure.
Everything we do, we do for Wellington. Our environment, economy, history, but most importantly, our people - residents, business people, visitors and diverse communities.
Whether it's caring for Wellington's gorgeous natural environment, providing services and facilities to support the physical, mental and cultural wellbeing of residents and visitors or supporting the business community to build a strong and resilient local economy, we're here for our city.
