Watermain repairs on Whangarei Heads Road
Thanks everyone for your patience while we’ve been replacing the watermains along the road between Scott Road and The Pines Golf Club 💧
We’re nearly done with this section. We have testing to do in late November, then the traffic lights will be back for a few more days around the first week of December 2024 to allow us to complete the job.
This work is part of three watermain sections to be replaced at Whangarei Heads this season – we’ll keep you posted once start dates are finalised. More project info here:

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
