Main Details
DescriptionWaikouaiti
(2013 population: 1125)
Waikouaiti is a large dormitory suburb of Dunedin, has a reputation for being a popular place in which to retire, and is popular with weekend visitors to the beach and river. The population has remained stable over the last 10 years. Waikouaiti has a community centre, a primary school with a roll of 111 (2006), fire station, police station, doctors' rooms, a library, a veterinarian, boarding kennels, a golf club, a DCC landfill, a rugby club, a campground, holiday accommodation, a beach, a grassy Domain, a lagoon, a river, a museum, and a racecourse. These contribute to the lives of Waikouaiti's residents, and volunteer working groups have formed to help the Council maintain and encourage the sustainable use of DCC amenities. The river provides is the primary source for the town’s water treatment plant which supplies drinking water to the area's residents. Sewage and waste water is treated and dispersed amongst pines on the coastal dunes. The Board recognises that it is important to maintain the bio-diversity of the river in order to keep it healthy.
Waikouaiti's location on State Highway One contributes to the township’s commercial activity.
Businesses here include a small grocery store, market gardens and horticulture (e.g. peonies), a baker, saddler, hardware store, petrol station, garages, a fish and chip shop, second hand stores, pubs, a café, a clothing store, and arts and craft stores. These provide
local and convenient supplies to the community. It also has large egg producing poultry farms. Waikouaiti also serves a service centre for the nearby Oceana Gold Mine.
