Oreti Community

Oreti Community straddles the Oreti River on the Southland Plains, where broad, low-lying country has shaped a dispersed rural settlement and a farming-led local economy. The river is one of Southland’s principal waterways, running south towards Foveaux Strait and providing the district’s defining geographic thread. This is inland Southland: open paddocks, shelterbelts and long roads rather than an urban centre. Livestock farming remains central to the region’s everyday culture and identity, while Invercargill is the main service city for much of Southland.
