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.

The six-week Streetscape trial on Lower Thames Street, East Bank on Thames, will end this weekend with the project team and other contributing contractors removing the extended pedestrian area, planters, beams and other features of the trial on Sunday 30 March.
Ply and framing will be removed by representatives from eight North Otago Rugby Football Union clubs, and will be repurposed to support the clubs and the community ahead of the coming season.
Planters will be removed and placed around the community, with the help of community organisations including EnviroSchools. Some of the concrete seating supplied by Hinds will be removed, improved and then placed in the Marketzone in the Harbour Precinct.
Bridge beams will be returned to TY Duncan Yard for storage, and the black metal stools will be used in Gillies Foundry’s art gallery.
Feedback is currently open on the trial, via an online survey, which can be accessed by going to: https://tinyurl.com/thames-trial
