Scaling up for the Tairāwhiti region.
Gisborne Holdings Ltd (GHL) is the region’s investment partner helping deliver returns for the people of Tairāwhiti.
As the commercial arm of Gisborne District Council (GDC), we leverage a diverse asset portfolio to underpin economic resilience and independence across Tairāwhiti.
The company is overseen by a board of directors appointed by GDC, and employs around 42 full- and part-time staff.
Through our Strategic Plan 2024–2028, developed with our shareholder GDC, we are well-positioned to manage key regional assets, unlock opportunities, and contribute solutions to longstanding local challenges.
As of 30 June 2026, we manage approximately $154 million in assets spanning land operations, property, and tourism accommodation portfolios.
We make an annual distribution payment to our owner based on a 50 percent operating cash flow basis.
Driven by a deliberate reinvestment strategy focused on long-term social, environmental, and strategic outcomes, we’re ensuring that positive investment performance continues.
