Stormwater work on Kamo Road this Saturday

The Team from Whangarei District Council

G'day Kamo!

We're doing some work to re-line the stormwater pipe from 1 to 39 Kamo road this Saturday 14 November, completing Sunday 15 November.

The footpath will be occupied by the work but our traffic management plan allows for people to pass through on foot.

This work allows us to remove obstructions such as dirt, tree roots and other unwanted items from inside the pipe - the pipe will flow better after it's cleared. Some parts of the line will be completely replaced and that can be noisy - so please expect some noise from the works (especially on Saturday).

Our contractor has been in touch with directly affected local residents separately.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
