Heavy rain is on the way - please prepare

We have been advised that heavy rain is heading our way again on Monday and Tuesday.

At this stage Metservice has not issued any watches or warning for our District over the weekend. However, we are anticipating some heavy rain from 12pm Monday, 27 October to 12pm Tuesday, 28 October which may approach 70mm over this period.

The rain may be particularly heavy in the Marokopa / Awakino / Mōkau areas, so we would advise people to drive to the conditions, and if they are in low lying areas and close to rivers to keep an eye on the river levels. 

Our district has recently been impacted by flooding and slips. Read more about our affected local roads.  Read more

Fees and Charges 2023/24 Consultation

29 Mar 2023, 2:59 PM

Waitomo District Council is seeking feedback on our proposed Fees and Charges schedule for 2023/24 under the Special Consultative Procedure.

As part of the annual planning process, fees and charges are reviewed to ensure the costs of providing these Council services are recovered by those who use them. This annual review provides the opportunity to reflect changes in the costs and services.

Due to the increased operating costs most fees and charges are being increased between 5% and 7%. We need to ensure costs are recovered so that Council services are not subsidised further by rates.

Consultation starts on Friday 31 March 2021 and closes at 5pm Monday 1 May 2023.
