Quick update on water storage
We're very glad to report that Wilson's Dam (Bream Bay) is completely full, and Whau Valley Dam (Whangārei and surrounds) is 80% full. It's the result of a pretty rainy June, and locals' efforts to save water over the last couple of months.
Since we're safely back in the "normal" zone for water storage, normal levels of water conservation are also appropriate.
You can get up to date information about this topic on our Dam levels webpage.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
