Block Road is now open after surface flooding caused it to close earlier today. The Riverbank Car Park will reopen in the morning.
There's still significant surface flooding on Block Road and in the Riverbank Car Park this afternoon so they will both remain closed for now. We'll update you here when they reopen as we have a crew monitoring these sites and the weather forecast.

From there it crossed the pond where it now contaminates wool, breaks shearing combs, cause skin irritations and dermatitis, and poisons stock – a true nasty!
With fifteen active control sites in the Wairarapa, some farms have thousands of plants on them! However, the plant is still relatively rare in the Wellington region and we plan to keep it that way.
Our pest plants team work hard on the fifteen sites to minimise the impact of this pest on people and livestock.
So if you see a plant with hundreds of straw-coloured burs, each 1.0–1.5 cm long, with many yellow hooked spines you’ve probably got Bathurst bur and our team wants to know about it and they’ll control it for free – to put those Aussies in their place!
Contact pest.plants@gw.govt.nz if you think you've seen it.
