Our People

We are lucky to have a unique combination of extraordinary citizens living right next to each other in our community: scientists, farmers, entrepreneurs, fishers, engineers and settled refugees, all rubbing shoulders to inspire change and innovation.

We are pretty proud of our home and could talk for days about why we love it here - but we don’t expect you to just take our word for it. So instead, we’ve talked to some locals about why they chose Nelson Tasman as a place to live, work or study, and here is what they had to say.
