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.

AA Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency services

20 Feb 2017

Waitomo District Council took up a Commission Agent role with the AA Licencing Agency (AALA) in 2004. The aim was to secure local delivery of an essential service for the benefit of the Waitomo community.

The service has been provided to Waitomo District for the past 12 years, and we are one of the few Councils in New Zealand, which has provided this service to its community.

WDC has been in discussion with the New Zealand Automobile Association (NZAA), for the past two years, about the commission agency arrangement.  

Recently VTNZ confirmed its wish to take up new local services through the existing Te Kuiti operations. NZAA has settled on a new delivery arrangement which will take effect on Monday 27 February 2017. The AA Licencing Agency service will be delivered by VTNZ Te Kuiti – located on Carroll Street.

We are pleased with this outcome, and that local access to the service is retained for our District.
