Flood defences protecting The Valley in New Plymouth have been strengthened by Taranaki Regional Council following the major weather event which hit the region in early July.

The project got under way before a second weather event hit the region on 11 July and has included adding 1,800 tonnes of rock and bank
After a review, the trial Boarders' Bus service will not continue in 2025. This decision was made because changes in Government funding and operational costs mean it is no longer cost effective to run the service. To ensure we use our limited resources wisely, we are focusing on providing transport services that are accessible to the whole community. What This Means for Students and Families The final Boarders' Bus service will run on Friday 13 December, 2024.
Students can still use the Your

and days of operation, particularly to include evenings
and Saturdays.
The Connector, Southlink’s coastal service, and Route 20
(Bell Block / Waitara) were most frequently mentioned
in this regard.
The desire to improve access to a range of after-school or
after-work activities was clearly stated, by Sport
Taranaki in particular.
This will be covered within
the SSBC, but should be
strengthened with more
specifics within the RPTP
and BTCS.

public do? While NPDC works on bringing the dam up to regulation, it is recommended that residents in affected properties prepare a flood response plan for their family or staff members if a flood alert is raised, so that they know what to do in an emergency. Helpful information is available online here: getready.govt.nz/prepared(external link). All members of the public should also not approach the dam during periods of heavy rain and be careful downstream of the dam.
Everyday activities such as burning rubbish, spraying weeds or applying fertiliser on your property may seem harmless, but they can all have the potential to affect air quality for you and for your neighbours.
