Leak detection in Maniaiti/Benneydale

Waitomo District Council contractor McIndoe Group are planning to carry out water leak detection in Maniaiti/Benneydale starting this Friday, 19 September 2025.

Leak detection helps identify where there could be faults in the network and can also help determine where water loss is occurring.

The leak detection investigation will occur from 8am to 5pm and although there will be a temporary interruption to water supply, it should not overly disrupt or interfere with normal usage.

We also ask that you please conserve water as much as possible.

Freedom Camping Bylaw Review

8 Jul 2022, 8:40 AM

We are currently reviewing the Freedom Camping Bylaw and would like your feedback.

 The Bylaw was first adopted by Council in November 2018 and came into effect 1 January 2019. Council is required to review its Bylaw within five years of it being adopted.

This scheduled review of the Bylaw has provided an opportunity to make some minor amendments and updates to the Bylaw, such as removal of the Kiritehere Cemetery Reserve as a restricted area for freedom camping as it has been identified as a Site or Area of Significance to Māori (SASM) and is therefore being classified as a prohibited camping area.  

 Submissions open 8 July and close 5pm on 5 Friday August 2022
