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.

Centennial Park improvements to start

21 Nov 2022, 3:21 PM

 

Our project to increase the safety and security of Centennial Park in Te Kūiti is set to start later this week, weather permitting.

Waitomo District Council will be installing bollards around the perimeter of Centennial Park, in an effort to prevent damage and vandalism which has occurred in the past, mainly by motor vehicles.

There should be minimal disruption as a result of this work, however we ask that you exercise caution around this area during this time, to ensure everyone’s safety.
