We are the Most Beautiful in the Keep New Zealand Beautiful contest, and have put ourselves forward to be the first New Zealand community to be designated a UNESCO City of Design.
We are also the only town in New Zealand to celebrate International Jazz Day - another UNESCO initiative. Perhaps that is why it has been a well-kept secret.
