Council services and office hours on Matariki (Friday 20 June)
17 June 2025
Tararua District Council services, including libraries, customer service centres, and transfer stations, will be closed this Friday for the Matariki public holiday. See below for full details on what’s open and what’s not.
Please take care with fireworks — be mindful of pets, and look out for your neighbours. Check out SPCA’s top tips for pet and farmed animal owners when it comes to fireworks: www.spca.nz/advice-and-welfare/article/keep-animals-safe-around-fireworks
There are Matariki events taking place all across Aotearoa, and once again, Matariki.co.nz is the digital home of the celebrations. Last year, more than three million people engaged in Matariki — and that number is expected to grow even more this year.
Have fun, stay safe, and take time to reflect, reset, and connect with whānau.
