Power cut planned for Kaitaia area
Make sure your petrol tank is filled up before Sunday! A major power outage will affect Kaitaia and surrounding areas - including North Hokianga, parts of Doubtless Bay and the Aupouri Peninsula - for eight hours on Sunday.

Customers who rely on electricity for medical equipment should contact their health providers for advice. Read more
