I am writing this off the back of an engaging Dargaville business community event last week. My thanks to the DCDB for co-hosting this as part of our long term plan consultation. It was well attended by the Dargaville community and i enjoyed the interactions with plenty of questions and answers about our plans for the next three years. 

Relatively dry weather in March enabled our roading team to push through our drainage maintenance and renewals.
