Embracing Regional Living: Discover the perks!
March 26, 2024
When talking to job seekers about their preferred locations in New Zealand, we often hear their desire for a big city, but here’s why you should consider regional NZ. Living in the regions brings a mountain of benefits depending on what’s important to you. For me, it’s the uncrowded beaches and not having to queue at the boat ramp!
If you’re hanging out for sunshine, you’ll want to consider Taranaki, Nelson-Tasman, Marlborough, Timaru and the West Coast. These regions enjoy about 2500 sunshine hours per year, that’s an average of 7 hrs per day – more than enough to grow a fabulous vegie garden! You’ll also have time to weed that vegie garden due to the work/life balance that can be achieved. If walking is your thing, then don’t overlook Southland – half of NZs great walks are there. In fact, regional living means that you can have that mountain, vineyard, beach, lake or ski field right on your doorstep.
The regions offer lower house prices and the potential to own a larger property than in the big city. The relaxed pace of life and sense of community are enticing factors for those seeking a lifestyle change. But what about job opportunities? We work with employers in all parts of NZ – big and small. You might be surprised by the size and scale of some of the regionally based organisations whose successes fly completely under the radar. And the smaller population means there’s less competition for that ideal job you’re interested in. So don’t overlook the opportunities and lifestyle advantages that regional living can provide – it might just be the perfect fit for you.
