The Big Cleanup has begun

The Team from Whangarei District Council

There are still thousands of people in a tough situation, so most of our resources are directed to helping those parts of our District. But for those who are able to go about things as normal, we're starting to plan the next phase.

The Big Clean Up

Some quick info:
📢 Please continue to report issues to us on 09 430 4200, and report non-urgent issues online.
🌳 Please hold on to your green waste and secure it properly until we provide further information.
♻ Put your rubbish and recycling out on your normal collection weekday.

The link above includes information about insurance, Government support, and personal safety. It will be kept up to date as things change.

The Civil Defence priority in our Region is to restore power, water and roadways. There might be a delay before we can get on to cleaning up the mess in parks and on road-edges.
