Water conservation

There are currently no water restrictions in place in Whangārei District.
However, residents in Te Kamo, Hikurangi, Tikipunga, Whau Valley, Three Mile Bush, and Otangarei are asked to reduce water use until February 2025 to allow for repairs on the northern water-supply network.

Investigating options for rating system

We are currently reviewing how rates are calculated to ensure they are still set in the fairest and most equitable way. If changes are proposed, we will seek community input through public consultation early next year. These changes will not impact the total amount of rates we collect, instead they will affect how we work out everyone’s share.
