Dump Station & Council Services
A reminder to everyone that the new Motorhome and Caravan Dump Station is currently located clear of the construction site (on the roadside to the south of the Rugby Clubrooms). Look out for the signs!
And - if you're looking for us - our Council services are currently operating from the supper room of the Ngātea War Memorial Hall. While the new building is under construction, this is where we'll be.
You can still contact us by phone on 0800 734 834, email: info@hauraki-dc.govt.nz or by sending a request via the Antenno App.

Before the demolition, we felt that it would be important for locals to say their goodbyes to the existing building.
So, an afternoon tea was held in what was previously the library wing.
Around 50 people, plus Councilors and numerous staff (both former and current) enjoyed reminiscing and hearing how people were connected to the building on what was a very positive occasion.
From left to right: Cllr Carole Daly, Cllr Anne Marie Spicer, Phyllis Hayward, Cllr Paul Milner, Lorraine Hayward, Gill LeonardLorraine Hayward and her sister, Phyllis were there to say goodbye. Lorraine recalled that she was at opening of the building in 1973 with her father and former Chairman of the then Hauraki Plains County Council, Hugh Hayward.
Incredibly, many of the original staff who were there on its opening were also present for the farewell 53 years later.
