Cyclone Hale Update
With the wind picking up we’ve had to suspend our work removing a large Cottonwood Tree located at the southwest end of Tennis Court Road Reserve in Raumati South. This is an active worksite with a partially removed tree so for your safety, stay well clear of the area, especially while it’s so windy.
Please also avoid using the informal track between the reserve and The Crescent, and follow the directions of any signage on site.
While the strong winds are here, be careful out there!
- Strong wind gusts like these could damage trees, powerlines and unsecured structures.
- Take extra care on the roads (especially for high-sided vehicles and motorcycles)
- Secure any outdoor items like wheelie bins, trampolines and outdoor furniture that may blow around.
If you see anything that needs our attention, report it via our free Antenno app, or call 0800 486 486.
