Gisborne District Council

Community update meetings

We invite you to come along to a community update meeting.

Mayor Meng Foon, councillors and staff will update you on what's happening in your community.

The meetings will be held throughout our district from
Tuesday 18 March to Saturday 12 April.

We want your help to improve our district, so come along and have your say.

It's very dry around our district, so the fire danger is high.

You must have a fire permit before you light any fire in the open. The only exception is gas cookers and BBQ.

You can apply for a permit online, it can take up to 3 working days to approve a permit.

There's also a total fire ban on all our beach reserves, foreshores and freedom camping sites - No Open Fires.
