MetService weather warnings

- Now's a great time to clear your gutters and spouting of leaves!
Note: we share MetService weather warnings, but not weather watches. See MetService Weather warnings and watches for how these differ.
Sandbags
Sandbags, sand and empty bags are available for anyone living in flood-prone areas. You can collect these from the Council depot at 25 Fytfield Place, Paraparaumu.
Road updates
We're repairing the pavement on the Northbound lane of Epiha and Hinemoa Streets and will be asphalting the road when the pavement repairs are done.
Tuesday 21 January - there is a full closure between 9-4 pm. For train commutes, you will still be able to assess the carpark from the east and west entrances.
Traffic management is in place and includes a detour via Tongariro Street, Ruahine Street and Ruapehu (clockwise, northbound single lane through site).
Please allow extra time for parking at Metlink carparks. We appreciate your patience while this important work is completed.
