District councillors from Far North, Whangārei and Kaipara have approved key governance and transfer agreements, marking a significant milestone as the Northland Waters establishment programme moves into its next phase.  

One of the things I love most about our district is how our communities show up, at ANZAC Day services across the district, through community‑led projects.

Work to extend the Mangawhai Heads surf beach carpark kicks off 18 May.

An innovative floodgate was officially opened on the weekend at G Canal in Ruawai.

Council has approved the establishment of Northland Waters Limited as a Northland‑wide council‑controlled organisation.

Following on from our earlier update about the water leak next door, we now have the results of air quality testing at Maungatūroto Library. 

Commemorative ceremonies took place around Kaipara District on Saturday in observance of ANZAC day

Kaipara communities will come together this ANZAC Day to remember and honour those who have served.

Our Long Term Plan vision is clear: Kaipara – the place to be! At its heart is a strong and prosperous economy that creates opportunities for our people and our communities.

Whangārei, Kaipara and Far North district councils have reaffirmed their shared commitment to establishing a Northland-wide council-controlled organisation (CCO) to deliver drinking water and wastewater services for the region from July 2027.

Kaipara District Council is asking the community for feedback on its proposed fees and charges for the coming year (2026/2027).
