What you need to know from us on COVID-19
We are doing all we can to support local people and businesses through this period. We know it will have a significant social and economic impact across the community
There are small and practical things we are doing right now to help ease the burden. We’ve removed charges for parking, suspending library fines, and we’re also establishing a $100,000 community resilience fund to support groups and initiatives.
The most important priority for us right now is keeping our people safe, and maintaining essential services - like waste collection, our roading network etc.
If you have any questions about work Council is doing, or our services during the lockdown period - visit our website or call us on 04 570 6666.
Rubbish and recycling
Rubbish collection continues as normal. You can buy council rubbish bags from supermarkets or dairies or arrange for a wheelie bin for your rubbish through a private company.
Glass only in recycling crates. All other recyclables either reuse or put into the rubbish.
Community recycling stations are closed.
