Council staff focussing on weather damage
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.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
