Waitangi Day 2026

Council offices, the Marton Community Hub and our waste transfer stations will be closed on Waitangi Day, Friday 6 February.

Ngā Awa Block

Ngā Awa Block is an amenities building in Taihape for various sporting and recreation organisations in the community. Council collaborated with Taihape residents on the building and what was needed, and so far, it has seen a significant uptake of users, particularly during winter sports months.

The construction of the Ngā Awa Block was completed in August 2023, with an opening ceremony held by Council and the community. The building has become a much welcome addition to Memorial Park.

The 298m2 building will be built adjacent to the tennis and netball courts. There is four changing rooms, each with toilets and showers, two smaller multi-purpose rooms, extra referee rooms, and an upstairs room looking over the tennis courts and rugby fields.

The building is fully accessible, with three accessible public toilets and a car park.
