Following the severe weather this week, our teams have been working to clear fallen trees across the city. Parks have now been made safe, and clean-up efforts will resume on Monday.
Check when you need to put your rubbish and recycling out over the holidays and find out about opening hours at libraries and other Council facilities.
Council has two gambling policies that set the number and location of pokie machines and TAB venues in Palmerston North.
The policies try to balance the social costs of gambling with the benefits from the community grants made by gambling trusts.
The class 4 gambling venue policy relates to pokies (gaming machines) in pubs and clubs. It is used to decide whether Council will give consent to any new venue, and how many gaming machines the venue is allowed to operate.
The TAB venue policy is used to decide whether Council will give consent to any new TAB venues in Palmerston North. It relates to stand-alone TAB venues, not TAB terminals or kiosks inside pubs.
Council is required by law to adopt these policies, and to review them every 3 years. They will next be reviewed in 2026-27.
