Help shape the next 10 years

Thanks to your feedback earlier in the year, we’re making great progress on creating a plan for the next 10 years that will help make the Western Bay even more special.

We're now moving on to the next phase and we have six key topics to chat about - some you may already be familiar with and some are new ones we’re keen to hear your thoughts on. Your feedback is important to help us decide on the options that meet the goals and aspirations of our residents right across the District.

Plus, if you answer all the questions you can go in the draw to win one of three $100 grocery vouchers! Feedback closes on Friday 2 October.

Take me to the polls

Panepane Purakau
Submissions on the proposed return of Panepane Purakau to five local hapū are now available online. A total of 7381 pieces of feedback were received, with 7121 for the proposal and 260 opposed. Council will make a final decision at an extraordinary meeting next month.

Change of hours
We're trialling new opening hours at the Waihi Beach Library and Service Centre. From 19 October hours will be 10am to 2pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 12pm Saturday. During the trial we'll continue to seek feedback from customers. The hours will be reviewed in January 2021.

Omokoroa Domain playground
A new destination playground is coming to Omokoroa next year, replacing the existing outdated one at the Domain. The playground will include swings, trampolines, tunnels, climbing structures and a hamster wheel. Construction is expected to start in March.

New location
The Omokoroa Library and Service Centre is all moved into its new home at the Omokoroa Sports Pavilion, 28 Western Avenue. They're open from 9am-5pm Monday to Friday and 9am-12pm Saturday - make sure you pop in to check it out and say hello to our friendly team!

Kerbside collections FAQ's
More than 1800 tonnes of rubbish will be diverted from landfill once a Council-run kerbside recycling, glass and rubbish collection service across approximately 80 percent of the District starts in July 2021. Want to know more about the new service? Check out our FAQ's here.

Pongakawa rural recycling
We're bringing back the rural recycling drop-off at BP Pongakawa due to popular demand! Following a successful trial earlier this year, the fortnightly mobile recycling drop-off will start up again from Saturday 10 October and run fortnightly until 19 June 2021.
