Heavy Rain Warning

MetService has upgraded the watch to a Heavy Rain Warning for our Thames-Coromandel District, starting from 11am Friday 11 July through to 2am Saturday 12 July.

Coromandel treated wastewater spill

Secondary treated wastewater has entered the roadside drain on Hauraki Rd and then into the Whangarahi Stream. The overflow has stopped and a clean-up is underway. Initial tests show no elevated ammonia values however there is no swimming, fishing or shellfish gathering allowed around Whangarahi Stream while testing is carried out. This could take several days.

Whangamatā estuary caution

A ban on swimming, fishing and shellfish collection in the Moana Anuanu estuary remains in place while clean-up of recent contamination takes place.

Health Licences

Hairdressers

From July 2025, hairdressers will no longer be required to register their premises. This is because a decision has been made to disestablish the Health (Hairdressers) Regulations 1980. For more information, see the government media release.

This means existing hairdressers do not need to renew their registration.

If you are opening a new hairdressing business, please contact our building and planning teams to check the legalities of your proposal.
