A number of our staff have been diverted to emergency services relating to Cyclone Gabrielle. Council services will continue but some with limited capacity so please be patient. We will continue to keep you updated.

Salt services, a professional dive team, spent most of a day early last week pulling an old car wreck out of the water. The car had been submerged some years ago and was resting where work was starting on the wharf head.

Improvements to the Poutō Point carpark area can progress in 2023 thanks to further funding from Kaipara District Council.

On the final stretch of 2022, the team have been pushing hard to complete outstanding work before the end of the year. Work continues on both the unsealed and sealed networks in anticipation of the summer rush and the expected increase in traffic. 

The construction of Poutō wharf has really been trucking along recently, with another dozen piles driven in the ground last week.

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

If you live in Poutō or have gone for a drive down recently, you will have seen some of the wharf construction taking shape.

Our roading team made the most of the warmer, drier weather that came our way in September.

Kaipara District Council has adopted their Annual Report for 2021/2022. The report was unanimously adopted in the September meeting, the last meeting of the term for the current Council.

Physical works for Poutō wharf have begun. Earlier in the month, Waikaretu marae led a blessing ahead of construction starting.

Work to construct Poutō wharf is set to begin shortly.

Wild, wet and windy weather kept crews busy in July. A total of 3,358 individual work items were completed throughout the month.
