Is Kai Iwi camps manager the perfect job?

Love the coast, native bush, outdoor activities and people? Kaipara District Council may have just the opportunity for you – but you have only until September 13, so move quickly.

KDC is inviting expressions of interest from parties keen to manage two of Northland’s most iconic campgrounds in 2025 – Pine Beach and Promenade Point at Kai Iwi Lakes, on Kaipara’s stunning West Coast.

Council says the sites are set alongside natural dune lakes, among native bush in the Taharoa Domain.

“They offer water, biking and walking activities and have been favourite holiday spots for generations of Kiwi campers.”

The campgrounds turn a handy profit for council coffers, but operating them also draws heavily on its resources, says general manager for strategic improvement Hayley Worthington.

Council is open to any operating model that contributes to local communities and helps the local economy to prosper.

“A strategic review of our campsites highlighted that someone else could be better positioned to provide campground services than council.

“We want to hear from people who are passionate about the area and what it can offer,” Worthington says. “It goes without saying that they must like working with people, provide great customer service and be invested in taking care of such a special place.”
