We’re taking voting on the road for the 2025 local elections

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

We have some major works happening on roads around the district this month.

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

A temporary health warning is in place for Kaiwaka and Otamatea rivers and the Kaipara Harbour by the Tinopai wharf after this week’s rains caused a wastewater spill from the Kaiwaka Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Pre-seal repairs progressed well in November, with 71% of sites finished.

In October, Kaipara's roading team powered through 55% of necessary pre-seal works, in preparation for re-seals next year.

Kaipara District Council has allocated over $50,000 through the Sport NZ Rural Travel Fund and Creative Communities Scheme – Arts Funding, benefiting 33 successful applicants in 2024.

Teams are in full swing across both unsealed and sealed networks, preparing for the upcoming winter season.

Relatively dry weather in March enabled our roading team to push through our drainage maintenance and renewals.

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