Motorists are advised to stay clear of the area until further notice and to avoid travel around Northland unless urgent, as heavy rain continues to batter down.
With high tide coming in by 11.15am. Hikurangi/Coastal General Ward councillor Scott McKenzie said the main concern is that the river might rise to a level where it spills over the road around Ngunguru.
Water levels need to reach roughly 4.5m in order to flood the road - they’re currently sitting above 3m, he said.
Other roads affected are:
Kaka Street, Morningside - flooded
Matapouri Road - fallen tree, passable with caution
Nook Road, Parua Bay - tree blocking both lanes
Parua Bay Road (west of Kerr Road) - heavy surface flooding, please avoid
Pataua North Road - road blocked due to slip
Places that have recently flooded are likely to flood again: Punaruku Road (Russell Rd), Whananaki North and South roads. Please travel with caution.
Residents are urged to stay off the roads, away from the coast and stay indoors. Further updates can be found on the Whangarei District Council website.

180,000 elderly live alone in Aotearoa who need the support of their neighbours and loved ones to keep an eye on them. The Hello Project was created to encourage Kiwis to not only look out for each other, but to make a plan and get to know the warning signs when something might be wrong. Because if something looks wrong, it usually is. It’s knowing the warning signs that can save a life.
On 8 September 2021, the reality struck close to home for Greg Partington, the Founder of the Hello Project, when he found his mother, Mary, lying on her kitchen floor. She’d suffered a debilitating stroke to the left side of her brain. Distressed, hurt and unable to move, she lay there alone for 20 hours. Not through any lack of care, but there were signals that all was not well. Her home lights were blaring all night as was the TV. She died in hospital 8 days later.
In loving memory of Mary Josephone Partington.
Wishing everyone a warm welcome into 2023! We can't wait to get back into the swing of things to help more young people realise potential.
“Here’s to a bright New Year and a fond farewell to the old. Here’s to the things that are yet to come, and to the memories that we hold.”✨
