Waikato District Council has adopted the Easter Trading Policy 2017, meaning all retail shops in the Waikato district will be able to open on Easter Sunday this year. Whether they do open or not is up to the business owner.

Council carried out extensive community consultation to find out what people wanted. During the consultation period, from 14 December to 7 February, 1268 submissions were received with 51% (656) in favour of shops being able to open. The majority opposed to the policy cited religious reasons, preserving our community culture or to make sure workers had a break.

Councillors acknowledged that the submissions were very evenly split. The views of those opposing the policy were discussed in detail as well as the benefits of giving shop owners the choice to open.

The policy will ensure that individual business owners can make their own choice as well as ensuring a consistent approach across the district.

Council staff are working hard to deal with the aftermath of ex-Cyclone Debbie. Customer service requests are being prioritised according to necessity of work.

Severe road damage, slips and flooding have dominated Council staff’s workloads since the cyclone hit the area last week.

And it's not over yet.

A low in the Tasman Sea is forecast to bring heavy rain to an already sodden North Island on Wednesday.

Cyclone Cook is due to bear down on the east coast of New Zealand from the Pacific later in the week.

Please bear in mind that normally simple service requests may take longer than usual as teams concentrate on assessment and repair of damaged roads, clearing slips and unblocking drains overwhelmed by flood waters.

River Road, Tuakau
Council staff have been working hard to re-open roads like River Road in Tuakau, which was closed by a slip.

Koheroa Rd
Ex-Cyclone Debbie has caused more damage to Koheroa Road at Mercer, which is closed between the intersections of Kellyville Road and Glass Road.
