WELCOME TO TARRAS Tarras is a thriving agricultural community based on the historic high country sheep stations and new vineyards.Tarras spans the world in its reach with merino wool, award winning pinot noir wines and striking landscapes. Situated on State Highway 8, Tarras Village is less than 30 minutes drive from both Cromwell and Wanaka. To the north lies the Lindis Pass and Omarama, 83 kilometres away. The vast open space includes a superb vista which takes in the Dunstan Range to the east and the Pisa Range to the west. To the south is a great view looking down the Cromwell Valley, north east to the St Bathan's Range and north west to the mountains and Matukituki Valley.

TARRAS NEWS Tarras Community Trust AGM 7.00pm Thursday 29 November at the Hall. NOTE: The AGM on 30 October had to be cancelled as only 6 people attended. A comprehensive representation of the community is essential for this re-scheduled meeting as matters relating to finances and the future of the Trust itself will be discussed. A minimum of 10 people from the community is required for a quorum. Waste Transfer Station: there has been a significant increase in un-bagged waste deposited in the skips as well as the use of black bags. The CODC is quite specific in that orange CODC bags only are to be used. This facility is in place for the whole community and to lose it because of the actions of a selfish few would reflect badly on all.
