Our regular update on roading maintenance activities across Kaipara District.

With reseals and rehabilitations programmed for the 2025/2026 year completed by the end of April, in May the roading teams focussed on routine maintenance and getting a head start on next year’s programme of works.  

Road rehabilitations were completed for Victoria Street in Dargaville and Lawrence / Valley Road Intersection in Mangawhai this month, marking the end of two significant pieces of rehabilitation work for the roading teams. With these projects complete, investigation and testing for design of the upcoming financial year’s rehabilitation sites begins. 

Rehabilitations were in full swing throughout March, with significant progress being made on Victoria Street in Dargaville and at the Lawrence Road / Valley Road intersection in Mangawhai. 

By the end of February 2026, 160,000m2 (53%) of the 300,000m2 of road resealing planned for the 2025/2026 financial year had been completed. The remainder is programmed during April 2026.

Update 8pm  |  Northland is currently responding to an impactful, multi-hazard weather event.

4pm update We still have a number of roads that remain flooded and impacted round the district. Please take extra care if you are out on the roads, and do not drive through floodwaters.

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

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

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

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