Rubbish collection

Waste Management NZ's contract with Whanganui District Council to collect rubbish bags in rural areas has been extended to July 31, 2021 after direct negotiation with the council.

No camping

Planned felling of poplars at a Totara Reserve Regional Park campground in the Pohangina Valley will take one or two months and mean camping there will not be possible until November or December, Horizons Regional Council biodiversity and biosecurity manager Rod Smillie says. The reserve's other campground will be open from Labour Weekend. Swimming in the Pohangina River will be restricted until both campgrounds are open.
