Some important dates and changes over the holidays.
Refuse and recycling collections over the festive season will occur one day later than usual.
Residents will need to put their refuse and recycling out one day later than usual for the weeks starting Monday 26 December and Monday 2 January.
By Monday 9 January, services will return to normal.
Council offices are open until 3pm on 23 December and reopen on 4 January.
There is a close-down period for the Council's consents teams.
From 20 December to 10 January, Building and Resource Consents are closed.
From 24 December to 16 January, Land Information Memoranda (LIM) and Development Contribution reconsiderations are closed.
This statutory close-down period means that application processing clocks will stop. If you want an urgent LIM before Christmas it needs to be in before 12pm on 19 December.
Happy holidays everyone.
