About
Wairoa District Council is based in New Zealand’s North Island in the Hawke’s Bay region. The word Wairoa is Māori for ‘long water’ and was named after the river that runs through the town. Early settlement in the area included a whaling station and trading post, dealing largely in flax.
In 2016, Rocket Lab established its Orbital Launch Site for its Electron Vehicle. The Electron vehicle is capable of delivering satellites into Low Earth Orbit, using innovative New Zealand technology.
The Challenge
Council’s IT structure was past its contracted support dates.
