Community and Culture

We carry out animal control functions on the Chatham Islands, including the control of stock on public roads, dogs and other domestic animals.

Chatham Islanders have access to two Council-owned cemeteries, two urupā and two denominational burial grounds.

The Chatham Islands Council has a small library situated in the reception area.Fiction and non-fiction books have been donated and are free to borrow.

Our objective is to ensure that the Council and community has influence over the provision of new gambling facilities.

We protect historic areas and wahi tapu on the Islands by ensuring compliances with the Historic Places Act 1993.
