Waitomo District Roading Updates

As at 8am on 4 May, our roading crews are still working to clear slips and debris. Our road status remains unchanged. SH3 between Mōkau and Piopio is open under convoy arrangement during the weekend and nights.

Visit our road network updates page for more info

Council open hours for 7 May 2026

The WDC Customer Services and Visitor Hub, Waitomo District Library and Admin Building will be closed on Thursday 7 May 2026 until 11am. We will still be available by phone on 0800 932 4357.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Kerbside Collection for Mōkau/Awakino

Council's solid waste contractor is unable to provide a kerbside collection service to Mōkau and Awakino residents until after 22 May 2026 due to the construction works happening on SH3 Awakino Gorge. We are currently working on a solution and will provide an update when an alternative is confirmed. We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
