The Council are working to enhance our city and preserve its character while embracing innovation and change.

As New Zealand's southernmost city we proudly encourage a good work-life balance and with direct flights, Auckland, Christchurch, and Wellington are within easy reach. All good reasons why working for Invercargill City Council is a great career and lifestyle choice.

The Council itself is growing too, and we are committed to supporting people to grow their careers, while enjoying a healthy work-life balance.
