Cyclone Gabrielle caused many fallen trees and debris on the roads all around the Tauranaga city, with road signs damaged, and power lines down.

"Emergency services and our contractors cleared the roads as fast as they could, allowing normal services to mostly resume," says a Tauranga City Council spokesperson.

"Our roads are all now open. The clean-up continues as our team remove debris, sweep the streets and you can expect some traffic management in places as we clear fallen trees."

Tauranga city's stormwater, wastewater and water treatment facilities are all operating well.

Parks
"We continue working to clear slips, trees and debris in a few places around the city. Mauao and Moturiki (Leisure Island) have recently reopened," says a council spokesperson.

The following walkways remain closed:

• Fantail Drive Walkway to Hammond Street
• West Street to Hamilton Street in the city centre
• Seventeenth Avenue to Laurence Street Boardwalk along Kopurererua Valley, which is scheduled to open next week.

Kerbside collections
All kerbside collections including glass collections, which were delayed earlier in the week, are on track and completed on Friday.

"If your glass recycling bin still has not been collected from earlier in the week, please get in touch with us to let us know," says a council spokesperson.
