A new chapter begins

Oamaru Library Exterior

From Monday 3 March, 2025, accessing Waitaki District Council services will be easier and more convenient than ever, right in the Ōamaru Library!

As well as the usual library services here’s some of what you’ll now be able to do at the library:

  • Apply for permits
  • Buy camping tickets
  • Make an appointment to see specialist staff
  • Pay your rates
  • Register your dog
  • Take care of fines
  • Report issues
  • And more!

From early March, instead of going into Council Head Office at 20 Thames Street for enquiries and Council services, you’ll be able to pop into Ōamaru Library at 62 Thames Street during the week or on a Saturday morning.

With extended hours and a central location, we’re giving you more time to handle what matters.
