		Horowhenua is a district on the west coast of the North Island of New Zealand.
		Unlike many other districts, it has a distinct identity, so much so that "The Horowhenua", as it is usually called, is regarded more as distinct region than as part of the region of Manawatu-Wanganui, which is how it is officially designated.
		Located north of Wellington and Kapiti, the district stretches from slightly north of the town of Otaki in the south to just south of Himatangi in the north, and from the coast to the summit of the Tararua Ranges.

		ACC District Plans for the CBD and Isthmus areas ensure that an electricity operator cannot erect new overhead lines of any voltage or capacity as a permitted activity.
