Following the flooding in late January, Whangārei District Council opened Ōakura Transfer Station for free flood-damaged disposal and provided two 15m³ skip bins near Ōakura Hall to help locals clear debris and keep the area safe and tidy.

A special shoutout to Trish and Nare, our incredible on-site operators. They were right at the heart of the response. Managing the bins, keeping the station running smoothly, and putting their community first, even while dealing with flood impacts at home. Absolute local heroes.

And a huge thanks to our drivers for the extra care and mahi getting each load safely transported in tough conditions.

💙 Trish & Nare - Oakura’s local heroes

While Oakura has been dealing with flooding, two of our own Trish and her son Nare have been right at the heart of the response.

As operators at the Oakura Transfer Station, they’ve kept the site open, helped manage free flood disposal provided by Whangarei District Council and coordinated the hook bins being used to clear damaged material from around the community.

They’ve even delayed clearing their own flood-damaged homes so they could keep helping others and after being evacuated yesterday, they’ve chosen to stay close to the station so they can be back helping again tomorrow.

Since Monday, more than 10 tonnes of flood-damaged material has already been removed from Oakura. Thanks to their dedication and the wider team working through tough conditions.

If you’ve heard Trish on RNZ yesterday, you’ll know how deeply she cares about this community. We couldn’t be prouder.
