Features of the district include the Karangahake Gorge, Whiritoa, the Hauraki Plains, Ngatea and the gold mining town of Waihi.

The district covers 1144 km², and has a population of approximately 19,550 (June 2016)^[1] residents, of whom 3978 live in Paeroa^[2] and 4503 live in Waihi.^[3] In 2010, the neighbouring Franklin District was abolished during the creation of the Auckland Council, and a stretch of the southwest coast of the Firth of Thames was added to the Hauraki District.

The current Mayor is John Tregidga and Deputy Mayor is Bruce Gordon.
