Two major improvement projects wrapped up this month will futureproof the Maungatūroto water supply for years to come.

Success! The last houses around upper Hokianga Road are now getting water, thanks to the dedicated work of the crews to get the booster pumps on Sunday.

Significant strides have been made to repair hundreds of slips and restore the Kaipara roading network.

Replacement corridor for the Brynderwyn Hills section of State Highway 1, announced. 

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

I am often asked about whether there is a disparity between what we spend in Dargaville and Mangawhai, our two largest towns in Kaipara. Earlier this month I met with a group of Dargaville business owners and we talked about that.

More than $3.2million of external funding will be redirected into Kaipara District’s waters infrastructure budget after Council deciding to redirect existing uncommitted Better Off and Transition Support funding.

We are making changes to the system that Kaipara District Libraries uses for our library catalogue, customer records and other library services.

Kaipara District Council contractors Ventia have completed another significant road repair, this time in Maungaturoto.

January saw our teams commence routine spraying rounds, pavement repairs are full steam ahead and preseals and reseals are underway across the district.

It’s been fantastic to have so many locals engaging with Elected Members and Council staff at the recent market events. In the last month we’ve had stands at Mangawhai Tavern Market, Dargaville Community Market, and Maungaturoto Night Market. We also hosted a Dargaville Business Meet and Mingle in partnership with Dargaville Community Development Board.
