History

The origins of the council date back to the Waipawa County Council, established in 1876.[2]

The Patangata County Council split off in 1885. Meanwhile, in 1908, the Waipukurau County Council, Waipukurau Borough Council, Patangata County Council, Woodville County Council, Dannevirke County Council, and Waipawa Borough Council split off.[1][3]

The Waipukurau County Council merged with Patangata County Council in 1974 and Waipukurau Borough Council in 1977 to form Waipukurau District Council.[4]

The other councils merged in 1978, to form together the Waipawa District Council.[4]

The Waipukurau District Council and the Waipawa District Council merged in 1989, to create the modern council.[4]
