SH1 Mangamuka Gorge and SH10 Kaeo closed
In case you are travelling North!!
The Transport Agency is advising motorists that the Mangamuka Gorge State Highway 1 south of Kaitaia is currently closed due to a slip.
Contractors are now working to clear the slip and are hoping to get one lane open to traffic later this afternoon.
The usual detour route of State Highway 10 through Kaeo is also closed due to flooding.
High tide is due at 9am and itโs hoped water levels will then start receding.
The Transport Agency is advising people to travel only if they really need to in the area and expect delays.

International Volunteer Day - 5th December 2024
This International Volunteer Day on December 5th, we want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible people who give their time, energy, and hearts to help others. The theme this year ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ๐จ๐ง๐ reminds us that volunteering comes in all shapes and sizes, and thereโs a way for everyone to contribute.
Volunteering though isnโt just about one day, it happens every single day, in big ways and small. To everyone who steps up to lend a hand, support their community, or just make someoneโs day brighter, thank you.
