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.

Feedback encouraged on WDC services and facilities

23 May 2024, 10:23 AM

Local residents are being encouraged to provide feedback on the services and facilities Waitomo District Council provides to its communities.

An invitation to complete WDC’s Residents’ Survey will soon hit letterboxes and email inboxes throughout the district, offering residents a chance to have their say.
The survey is being carried out by independent research company Versus Research Ltd on behalf of Council.
All residents aged 18 years and older living in the district are eligible to undertake the survey.
The survey gauges opinions on the services and facilities delivered by WDC and will be delivered to residents listed on the general and Māori electoral roll.
The survey can be completed online or returned by post. Those who complete it before the close off date will be invited to enter a draw to win a $250 New World Gift Card.
Personal information provided by respondents will not be made available to the public or any WDC staff.
Survey results will be included in WDC’s Annual Report published later in the year.

The survey needs to be returned by Sunday 23 June.
