Roading Industry meeting well attended

6 Sep 2022, 12:09 PM

On Friday 26 August, Waitomo District Council's Roading team held an industry briefing to discuss the upcoming work schedule for the 22/23 construction season.

We had a great turn out both in person and online. The meeting was important, as we have a large amount of construction works planned including roading and Cyclone Dovi recovery works. It was a good opportunity to share with the industry.
