Retirement is often viewed as a time of relaxation, travel, and personal freedom. While some people look forward to no longer working, for others, it can be a time of emotional upheaval and uncertainty. You may experience feelings of sadness and loss of purpose rather than excitement and happiness.… View moreRetirement is often viewed as a time of relaxation, travel, and personal freedom.

Please see the below update from Hawke's Bay Regional Council regarding high sea swells and their likely impacts on Hawke’s Bay river mouths and the southern coast (from south of Porangahau up to Cape Kidnappers in particular).
As a precautionary measure, Hastings District Council is closing (or recommending that people leave) the following three coastal reserves where overnight camping is permitted by certified self-contained vehicles:
1. Evers-Swindell Reserve
2. Haumoana Domain
3. Clifton Road Reserve
Note, overnight camping is not permitted at Waimārama and Ocean Beach reserves and these reserves are locked at night regardless.
At this stage, we ask residents to stay alert and review their emergency plans in case sea levels rise or other weather-related issues occur.
We’ll continue to monitor the situation throughout the evening and into tomorrow.
Remember:
- In the event of an emergency, please phone 111 immediately.
- For ALL Hastings District Council-related issues (e.g. roading) please phone our call centre on (06) 871 5000. This is a 24/7 service.
- Keep an eye on the HB Civil Defence Emergency Management Group, Hastings District Council - Te Kaunihera ā-Rohe o Heretaunga, and Hawke's Bay Regional Council Facebook pages for more information and updates.
