If you’re travelling away, please take it easy on the roads and come back to our beautiful District safe and refreshed.

Our main office will be closed from midday 23 December and will re-open Wednesday, 4 January 2017. Most Council services will either have reduced opening hours or be closed entirely during this period.

Normal hours will resume Wednesday, 4 January 2017.

A full list of services' opening hours over the end-of-year holiday period is available on our website - if you're looking for what's on check out the link to the School Holiday section of whakatane.com.
