	Regions of New Zealand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Region is the formal term for the top tier of local government in New Zealand.
		Four territorial authorities (the second tier of local government) also perform the functions of a regional council and thus are known as unitary authorities (five if the Chatham Islands Council is counted as a unitary authority, but usually it isn't).
		New Zealand has a number of outlying islands that are not included within regional boundaries.

		New Zealand is also of growing importance as a component of the dispersed populations of people of Pacific Island ethnic origin, and has recently acquired substantial minority Asian populations.
