Weather Watch - High wave warning along coastline

A high wave warning is in place for our coastline this weekend. A strong westerly swell is expected from Saturday 24 January through to Sunday 25 January, with a swell event (high energy waves) and elevated water levels predicted.

This wave event is big, even for the west coast, with forecast swell over 5 metres and maximum wave height over 10 metres possible. The highest risk period is within 1-2 hours of high tide.

The next high tide for the coastline from Marokopa to Mōkau is around 2pm on Saturday. For Sunday, high tide is around 2.50pm.

Local Alcohol Policy

9 Apr 2013, 7:00 AM

As part of the new Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 which comes in to force this year, Councils have the option of adopting a local alcohol policy to regulate some aspects of the sale of alcohol, including  the number, location and hours of licensed premises.

Waipa, Otorohanga and Waitomo District Councils would like to know your views on alcohol related issues.

To assist with this the Councils are conducting a survey on the sale and supply of alcohol locally.

You can collect a copy of the survey form the Waitomo District Council Office, Waitomo District Library, or download the survey from the related links.

Alternatively, you can visit www.waipadc.govt.nz and click on 'submit it'.

Your views are important.  Please return your completed survey to your Council by 10 May 2013.
