Communications from Tauranga City Council

We are currently at Alert Level 4
and we're working through what this means for our facilities and services and will update you as soon as we can. But here's what you probably want to know now:

♻️ Recycling and waste collection
These will continue but assisted services are suspended under Alert Level 4. The transfer station is also closed.

👩‍👧‍👦Parks and playgrounds
Some park gates will remain locked and playgrounds will be closed.

People can exercise under Alert Level 4 but should avoid spaces where you cannot practice safe social distancing or come into contact with surfaces that may not be sanitised.

⛰ Mauao
As parts of the tracks up and around Mauao are narrow and people are not able to safely maintain social distances, it will be closed from 7am and kaitiaki will be on site to remind people not to use the tracks.

🐑McLaren Falls will also be closed to the public.

📞Customer Service Centre
The Centre will be closed but the call centre is available 24/7. You can reach them on (07) 577 7000.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
