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.

Temporary look to official blue rubbish bags

14 Jun 2022, 5:25 PM

You may soon notice that our official blue rubbish bags will look a little different – Our Council logo is missing. This is only temporary.

Like many businesses, we are experiencing significant shipping delays, including our official refuse bags. Unfortunately, this is out of our control.

We have managed to secure a small shipment to see us through, but the blue bags won’t have our logo printed on them. These blue bags will still be considered as an official refuse bag and will be accepted by kerbside collection.

We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
