The Wanganui District Council area is located on the west coast of the North Island of New Zealand, about 200 kilometres north of Wellington and 450 kilometres south of Auckland. The Wanganui District Council area is bounded by the Ruapehu District Council area in the north, the Rangitikei District Council area in the east, the Tasman Sea in the south, and the South Taranaki and Stratford District Council areas in the west.

Rural land is used largely for sheep grazing, beef and dairy farming and forestry, with some horticulture and orcharding.
Wanganui is named from Maori words meaning "big bay" or "big harbour". It is also known as Whanganui.
