Road closures: There will be several road closures in Whangamatā. We apologise for any inconvenience and ask for your patience on our roads as traffic delays are likely around the district with large crowds expected. For road closure and detour information, see www.tcdc.govt.nz/roads  

Rubbish and Recycling: Kerbside collection for Beach Hop will take place on Monday 27 March. Please note that all recycling services have been cancelled for March, but our Refuse Transer Station will be operating extended hours on Monday 27 March (8:30am - 5:30pm) if would like to dispose of your recycling.

Dogs: We know many pooches also come and enjoy the Hop. A reminder to owners keep your dog on a leash in public places. There’s areas you can exercise your dog off-lead, see tcdc.govt.nz/dogrules. 

Washing your pride and joy: We’re anticipating a huge number of visitors to Whangamatā, which means a large increase in water use in the area. 

To help us manage our networks and make sure there is enough water for everyone, we need all residents and visitors to ensure they are conserving water where possible: 

  • Use a bucket to wash cars and don’t leave the hose running continuously, which wastes water. 

  • A reminder, Whangamatā is a coastal town, so any cleaning products, detergents etc. used for car washing have a quick and direct path to the ground and the sea via our stormwater network, including road cesspits. 

  • Please wash your cars on the lawn to soak up the water. 

For more information about our water restrictions and conservation tips visit tcdc.govt.nz/water.
