The multi-year, multi-million-dollar Kaipara slip remediation programme has continued in full swing over the last twelve months.  

Kaipara District Council is establishing a new working group to actively advocate for the health and functionality of Mangawhai Harbour and its tributaries.

Over the summer period, our roading teams have been focussed on delivering this year’s reseal programme. 

MetService New Zealand has lifted Northland's Red Heavy Rain Warning. 

Chief Executive Jason Marris has advised that he will step down from his role at Kaipara District Council, after three and a half years leading the organisation.

An official opening was held to celebrate the new, modern, warm, dry, healthy homes for older people.

The sealing season which commenced in October is well underway, with pre-seal repairs required to enable the 2025/2026 reseal programme progressing well. 

I started at Kaipara District Council three years ago as a summer intern in my third year of university, before moving into a graduate role. Today, I am a Resource Consents Planner within Planning & Development.

The report was formally adopted following unanimous approval by elected members at the council meeting on 26 November. 

Summer holidays are fast approaching! During this time critical council services continue, with some changes due to staff availability. 

As Mayor, it is my absolute privilege to welcome you to Kaipara this summer. Our district is a place of wide horizons, sparkling harbours and lakes, rolling countryside, vibrant communities, buzzing towns and stunning natural beauty. We are proud to share it with you.
