There has been disruption with traffic control and limited accessibility at times, but the community has coped really well with all of this and it’s certainly helped in us getting our work done in good time. The pipe laying is complete, but we will be returning to site in a few months for some minor road surfacing repairs.
We’ve tried our absolute best with this project but know that there will always be things that we can do better next time. If you’ve got any suggestions, please let us know what you think through our quick survey on our website.

line-up.
The 10-day long biennial festival will run from 10-19 October and include events located across the Wairarapa, from rural halls, churches and larger venues such as the Carterton Events Centre.
Since 2013, Kokomai Creative Festival has been bringing world class, inspiring creative arts and entertainment to local communities in the Wairarapa.
The 2019 festival will differ slightly from previous years with fewer events but still maintain an impressively diverse programme, says Jo Beetham, Wairarapa Arts Festival Trust chair.
“This year’s festival is more user-friendly for festival goers. We’ve taken on board feedback from previous years about clashing performances on key nights during the festival,” Jo says.
“Kokomai is a bit more boutique this time around, and we are super excited about the line-up which is world-class with international, national and local artists and performers, providing exceptional live experiences.
“You can immerse yourself in music, theatre, dance, visual arts, film and literature – there is something for everyone.”
Headlining the international acts is American blues singer Greg Copeland.
