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.

Maintenance work underway to keep Waitomo District bridges safe and resilient

21 Jun 2018, 10:02 AM

Waitomo District Council has commenced a bridge maintenance programme across the roading network including:

  • Te Mahoe Road
  • Manganui Road 
  • Waikawau Road 
  • Matiere Road 
  • Pomarangai Road 
  • Matiere Road 
  • Ramaroa Road 
  • Tikitiki Road 
  • Aharoa Road 
  • Manu Road 
  • Te Waitere Road
  • Marokopa Road


Bridges are inspected each year. The maintenance work that is required on bridges is identified and carried out to ensure structures are provided for safe access by road users.

Issues that we look for include the build-up of debris, structural damage to the foundations, painting of structures, replacement of marker posts and a general evaluation of the condition of the bridge structure.

All roads will remain open while the bridge repairs are underway. 

For roading service requests and information please contact Waitomo District Council on 07-878-0800 or email [email protected]
