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.

Proposed Solid Waste (Asset) Management and Minimisation Plan

1 Mar 2018, 10:55 AM

In April 2018 we will consult with the community on the proposed Solid Waste (Asset) Management and Minimisation Plan (SWaMMP). 

The consultation period for the plan will begin on Thursday 5th April 2018 and end at 5pm on Friday 4th May 2018. 

The proposed SWaMMP will guide the work we do to manage and minimise rubbish and recycling in the district. 

We must review the SWaMMP every six years. In doing so, we must consider reduction, reuse, recycling, recovery, treatment and disposal as it relates to the management and minimisation of waste, as well as reflect national and regional waste strategy and policy. The proposed SWaMMP addresses recycling and collection of waste, use of council waste facilities, use of litter bins, and waste management for events.

We encourage you to tell us your views.

A submission form and the proposal will be available from:
