[it] Distretto di Central Otago

Il distretto di Central Otago è un'autorità territoriale della Nuova Zelanda che si trova entro i confini della regione di Otago, nell'Isola del Sud. La sede del Consiglio distrettuale si trova nella città di Alexandra. Da notare che per i neozelandesi l'area conosciuta come Central Otago è comunemente identificata con quella che include sia il Distretto di Central Otago che quello di Queenstown Lakes, mentre per riferirsi al solo Distretto di Central Otago gli abitanti parlano semplicemente di Central.
