The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) is leading New Zealand's response to H5 bird flu (H5N1). You can help protect our native birdlife and local poultry by knowing what to do. If you see three or more sick or dead wild birds together, please don't touch or move them. Report them to MPI and follow the latest advice.

We have over 50 parks and reserves around our District. These range from the Levin Adventure Park, to scenic coastal or river reserves such as Horseshoe Bend Reserve in Tokomaru or Waitarere Domain. Council maintains these parks and reserves on behalf of its residents, to ensure that our District is a great place to live, work and play in.
