This festive pānui shares Te Kohekohe Team’s holiday clinic and office hours, along with key community reminders to keep whānau safe, respectful, and well-supported over the Christmas and New Year period.

Kia ora whānau,

Wishing you all a safe, healthy, and happy festive season!

As we head into Christmas and the New Year, here’s a quick update on our office hours and clinic availability, along with a few friendly reminders to help keep the community safe and enjoyable for everyone.

Office and Clinic Hours:

  • Our Clinic at 113 will remain open, except on public holidays, when it will be closed. If you require support during this period, please get in touch with our office. A support staff will be working throughout the break.
  • Our Kainga (housing) office will be closed from 19th December 2025 and will re-open on 12th January 2026.
  • For a clear guide to our clinic and office availability over the festive period, please see the details below.

Community Reminders:

  • Keep it peaceful: During the festive season, please keep noise levels down to respect your neighbours.
  • No dogs on-site: Dogs are not permitted. If you see a dog wandering, please contact Animal Control on 0800 920 029.
  • RSA area safety: Please avoid cutting through the RSA area; gates will be secured, and the path should be used instead. Children have been standing on cardboard in the bins without shoes, which is dangerous. Please remind your tamariki to stay safe.
  • Rubbish disposal: With extra rubbish over the festive period, please use the correct bins and ensure manuhiri do not block the bin gates.

Thank you for helping keep our community safe and enjoyable for everyone.

Ngā mihi nui,
