Mike from South Whangarei

I was at my car loading my groceries into it when a shiny black 4 door ute with loud hailers sticking out its rear windows drove through the Okara shopping centre carpark playing the following on a continuous loop

"This is a public announcement
The government is lying to us
Covid is a hoax
Do not comply"

sadly I was not close enough or quick enough to tell the occupants of the ute what I think of their parentage

An update on repairing major slips in Northland

The Team from Whangarei District Council

Responding to flooding and severe weather has been expensive. Northland’s local road network has suffered approximately $89m worth of damage from at least 10 different significant weather events since July 2022.

We've worked with other Northland Councils to produce an interactive map showing repair of slips in our Region.

It shows that we have successfully restored the majority of roads in Whangārei District and are focusing on 28 remaining sites, with an estimated cost of around $10 million total. These repairs are expected to take 2 - 3 years to complete.
