Instead of going into Council Head Office at 20 Thames Street for enquiries and Council services, you can pop into Ōamaru Library at 62 Thames Street during the week or on a Saturday morning.
Over the last two weeks we have noticed and been made aware of some issues with the maps and ePlan tool that resulted in property reports and various layers not displaying. This has now been rectified and we encourage you to recheck the maps and lodge a submission.Council recently agreed to extend the submission period by a week, from 9 May to 16 May 2025.
