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. 

In September, we kicked off pre-seals in preparation for the upcoming re-seal programme.

With winter drawing to a close, the roading team have been planning the unsealed road strengthening programme – set to start at the end of September.

The roading team have completed 20 slips over the last nine months. Pahi Road (pictured) is well underway.

It’s been a busy month for our unsealed network – with over 9,600m3 of metal processed across our unsealed roads and 123km of road graded.

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

The dry season came to an abrupt end in April with the arrival of ex-tropical Cyclone Tam.

Shaping the future of our district is both an honour and a shared responsibility. Our young people demonstrate this in many inspiring ways, as I recently saw through Rotary’s Learn to Sail programme.
