Wanganui
This is the town where early-ousted ‘Dancing with the stars’ Mayor Michael Laws governs. Wanganui is a thriving and vibrant city, holding true to steadfast values in a modern era. Our river, nature, heritage, arts, culture and sport are the cornerstones of the community – rowing is strong in this district – with the wonderful Whanganui River hosting many a regatta.
Wanganui is an upbeat provincial city rich in both Maori and European history and culture. The town is littered with historic buildings, preserved from the early days of European settlement, along with beautiful parks and gardens for the strolling public
