Swimming alert at Fitzroy Beach
Please don’t swim or gather food at Fitzroy Beach.
Testing of the water at the beach by Taranaki Regional Council on 9 December returned elevated levels of the potentially-harmful bacteria.
We’re sorry this will inconvenience people hoping to spend the weekend at Fitzroy Beach.
Check our Can I Swim page for information on other beaches.
We have five community boards in New Plymouth District: Clifton, Inglewood, Waitara, Kaitake and Puketapu-Bell Block.
The Community Board Plans have been developed by each community board in consultation with their community. They highlight each board's vision and community issues and aspirations for investment or action.
The purpose of these plans is to build on the New Plymouth District Blueprint and facilitate a more integrated approach to planning, infrastructure development and community development in the community board areas. Development of the plans has been successful in encouraging grassroots engagement in our statutory planning and governance processes.
The plans are being reviewed. Feedback has now closed on all the plans.
Follow the survey links below for our Community Board plans.
