RoadingWairoa District Council is responsible for the maintenance of around 830km of roads around the district, not including State Highways, which are taken care of by the NZ Transport Agency. With such a vast network of routes, it is not surprising that 50 percent of rates go towards roading.
Roading is an essential service, so our priority is to keep roads open and in a safe state to enable people to travel to essential services such as Food, Doctor etc.
For people's safety and for them to be able to stay home as much as possible, our two major contractors QRS and Fulton Hogan are providing an on-call/emergency response only during alert level 4.
Our teams are continuing to inspect the roads, and if issues are meeting certain thresholds we will activate a crew to attend to them.
Currently there are no road closures in the Wairoa District.

The Council's Infrastructure Business Unit (IBU) is responsible for managing the maintenance of the road, while the actual work is carried out by contractors. It's a big job, which is why it has a dedicated team assigned to the task.
IBU is also responsible for organising emergency repair work on local roads. Please contact us to report any damage to local roads or public infrastructure.
Information regarding the status of the State Highways can be found at the NZTA website.
