Contact us to report:
- bleeding tar or shiny roads

Private roads
Council does not maintain private roads or private right of ways.
All vehicle crossings/driveways run through Council Road Reserve (including some rights of way). Driveways are constructed for property access and are the owner’s responsibility to maintain, including any retaining structures and pipes running under them.
Unsealed road grading
Unsealed roads in the district are graded up to four times per year. Some roads require less grading. Unsealed roads are:
- Maungakotukutuku Road
- Waterfall Road
- Mangaone North Road
- Ōtaki Gorge Road
- Waimanu Road
- Wairongomai Road.
