We've just launched two major consultations: Annual Plan 2025-26 and Local Water Done Well. Find them both here:
www.wdc.govt.nz...

Annual Plan 2025-26 sets out all the planning, projects, rates, and spending for the coming year. It is in line with our Long Term Plan (LTP) focus on infrastructure, planning with growth in mind, and making sure income covers costs. We are seeking feedback on 3 topics about rates.

Local Water Done Well (LWDW) is about how water infrastructure and services are managed. We're proposing two options: an "in-house business unit", or teaming up with neighbouring Councils for a Northland Council Controlled Organisation (CCO). Our preferred option is the in-house business unit.

Consultation on both topics is open until 5:00pm on Friday 2 May 2025. A series of 3 "drop in session" events begins on Thursday 8 April 2025 in Ruakākā (details are on the Have Your Say pages).

It's tax return time. Scammers are impersonating Inland Revenue (IR) - and even the Police to steal personal information and money.

They may contact you by email, text, or phone, claiming:
🔹 You're owed a tax refund and must provide your bank details to receive it.
🔹 You owe tax and need to pay immediately to avoid legal trouble.

How to stay safe:
✅ Don’t click on links in emails or texts - log in to your myIR account directly.
✅ Check the sender - official IRD emails always end in @ird.govt.nz.
✅ Be cautious with texts - IRD only sends messages from four-digit codes, not
regular phone numbers.
