As its name suggests, the Waikato Area Office manages the public conservation land of the Waikato. The Waikato Conservancy's hunting team is also based at this office.

Features of the area managed by DOC include:

  • Pirongia Forest Park
  • The Hakarimata Range
  • Three of New Zealand's six internationally significant wetlands: Whangamarino wetlands, Kopuatai Peat Dome and the Firth of Thames
