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.

Northland experienced an exceptionally dry March, which brought grading work across the district to a halt. 

Work across the 1126km unsealed network will pick back up in late March, having slowed down during the dry season. 

Whakapirau, Paparoa, Ruawai, Arapohue, Maungatūroto are just a few of the places now home to 27 official New Zealand citizens.

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

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

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

We made the most of June’s relatively dry weather, carrying out culvert placements and water tabling across the district.

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

Our team made the most of February’s mixed bag of weather.

Our roading teams worked hard throughout December to prepare our roads for a surge in traffic over the summer.

We are now into the final stretch of 2023 and are pushing hard to complete outstanding work before the end of the year.
