Urgent Tree Felling in Stoneham Walk

Our Turf and Trees team have felled four Liquidambar Trees that were classified as dangerous.

The walkway closure is at the northwestern end of Stoneham Walk. The felling only affects one side or the Ruruanga Stream which runs through Stoneham Walk.

Please note, the walkway is still able to be used, walkers will just need to cross over the stream using the bridges available.


Upcoming Road Works

Rail crossing at Otakiri is going to be closed on Monday, 13 May for maintenance.
Closure time / bypass in action: 6am – 7pm

During that time traffic will be diverted from SH30 via Kawerau using SH34. 

Please contact Council via phone on 07 306 9009 if you have any questions

Please be mindful of the road workers safety when driving.
