HIGH LEVEL ROAD CLOSURE: 21 JULY - 8 AUGUST 2025

Phase two of our Automated Electronic Gate Project will begin on 21 July, impacting High Level Road both north and south of State Highway 5.

As part of this work, these two sections of road will be closed for approximately three weeks until the new gates are operational.

Access during this period:

  • To access southern Kaingaroa Forest: Use Motukino Road or Wairongo Road (next to the Waimihia Fire Store).
  • To access northern Kaingaroa Forest from SH5: Use Waimihia Road (opposite the Waimihia Fire Store).

These alternate access gates will remain open 24/7 for all users throughout the gate installation period.

Additional information:

  • Road closure signage will be in place at Mere/High Level Road and Pukuriri/High Level Road.
  • The forest gates located north and south of the new gate installation site will remain locked until the new gates are operational.

We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your cooperation in helping us complete this next phase.
