Green light for Matakohe Cemetery trustee appointment process

In October, Kaipara's roading team powered through 55% of necessary pre-seal works, in preparation for re-seals next year.

We made the most of June’s relatively dry weather, carrying out culvert placements and water tabling across the district.

Teams are in full swing across both unsealed and sealed networks, preparing for the upcoming winter season.

Roading teams made the most of April’s dry weather, resurfacing 129,042m2 across the network and carrying out culvert replacements and water tabling.

Commemorative ceremonies took place across Kaipara District on Wednesday in observance of ANZAC day.

Relatively dry weather in March enabled our roading team to push through our drainage maintenance and renewals.

Council has adopted two proposed bylaws, to take effect from 1 May 2024.

A new online mapping tool developed by Northland’s three district councils shows the latest repair plans for the remaining slips still affecting district roads following severe weather events that hit the region during 2022-23.

Our team made the most of February’s mixed bag of weather.

January saw our teams commence routine spraying rounds, pavement repairs are full steam ahead and preseals and reseals are underway across the district.

State Highway 1 over the Brynderwyn Hills is now closed for crucial recovery works. Detour routes through the Kaipara district are open and operating.

A nationwide campaign to promote Northland during the Brynderwyn Hills closure is just kicking off and will run throughout the period of the closure.

Our roading teams worked hard throughout December to prepare our roads for a surge in traffic over the summer.

NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) has confirmed detour routes and dates ahead of the upcoming closure of State Highway 1 (SH1) Brynderwyn Hills for critical restoration work.

Roading crews have made strong progress improving and stabilising the local alternative routes around the Brynderwyn Hills in anticipation of additional traffic due to the upcoming closure of SH1 Brynderwyn Hills. 

We are now into the final stretch of 2023 and are pushing hard to complete outstanding work before the end of the year.

Despite the unexpected interruption from Cyclone Lola,October was a very productive month on roads across Kaipara.

More than half of the 71 slips still impacting Kaipara roads in the wake of multiple severe weather events that hit Northland earlier this year should be repaired by the middle of next year.

We are only just on the other side of Winter and are already feeling the benefits of warmer and drier weather.

The end of another winter gave us some much-needed sunshine and blue skies. Now with Spring upon us and the days getting longer, our focus moves to pavement works.
