What's wrong with this picture? We're looking forward to the rugby this weekend but we don't want to see cars blocking the vital infrastructure needed to get people there - footpaths. They also block access for wheelchairs and mobility scooters, and can damage underground services. … View moreWhat's wrong with this picture? We're looking forward to the rugby this weekend but we don't want to see cars blocking the vital infrastructure needed to get people there - footpaths. They also block access for wheelchairs and mobility scooters, and can damage underground services. Vehicles parked on yellow lines, footpaths or berms may be fined.
Please plan to use the free buses we have arranged, or use legitimate carparks and walk on our lovely footpaths to reach the stadium. Also, bring an umbrella and a jacket! The weekend is forecast for rain. ☔
It’s going to be a fantastic day, let’s make sure everyone can enjoy it (including those with mobility scooters, wheelchairs, pushchairs, walking sticks and so on).
Transport and ticket information here - plan ahead 🏆

Our District’s top honours for this year go to Felicity Christian, Brian Corney, Fred Tito and Steve Westgate, in recognition of their outstanding service to the community.
A Civic Honour Award is the highest honour we can bestow on a Whangārei resident. Each of these recipients has been nominated by people in their communities who have seen first-hand what they have achieved throughout their lifetime. Through tireless work, commitment and generosity of spirit, each of these nominees has made our District a better place.
Only four Civic Awards are given out each year. In a District with more than 96,000 people, receiving one of these awards is an outstanding achievement. Once again we congratulate Felicity, Brian, Fred and Steve and warmly thank them for their service to our District.
The 2022 recipients were announced at a special ceremony on 30 September with friends, family members, Mayor Sheryl Mai, councillors and local dignitaries in attendance.
