Otorohanga District Council

I was yesterday, 31/10/22, driving from New Plymouth to Auckland via Otorohonga. What a delight to see all the flowering baskets lining both sides of the main street - Gorgeous. Well done!

I have only had positive experiences with Otorohanga DC. When we built our house they saved us a huge amount of money through practical solutions. Thanks ODC

Not. A pleasant one, I along with other residents on Newman Road have been waiting and hoping our road would be sealed for 22 years, Our District Counsellor for the first 10 years fought desperately to get our road sealed due to it already being widened and a busy traffic road especially for heavy vehicles as it is a through road, We were told by council when we purchased our property that it was due to be sealed meaning in the next couple of years, never happened, then the year Waipapa road had a washout, our road was to sealed 1.5km, never happened, recently I was told it will now be at least 2025 as there are more important roading jobs in the queue ahead of ours. In the interim Gallagher road had a complete reseal, right to the end, was a perfectly good road, could have waiting, the major rework done on Rangiatea road, was a perfectly acceptable road for now, could have waited, now I see the surveying being done on Mongaorongo Road to straighten it, perfectly good road, not urgent so WHY DO WE HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THIS DUSTY MUDDY ROAD, WE HAVE BEEN PATIENT, TIME IT WAS OUR TURN TO GET SEALED , not in 2025

The council staff lie about there law breaking and destroy pensioners property's wile doing so the government refuses to comment and police admit seeing it .

Decent Council to deal with and some of the staff are great people. Have been helpful with some of my questions. Recommended.
