TCDC
The Thames-Coromandel District is a special area and the role and responsibilities of the Thames-Coromandel District Council in retaining these special values have changed. The Local Government Act 2002 requires Councils to promote the social, economic, environmental and cultural wellbeing of their communities. This means that we need to look beyond the traditional role of councils. Wellbeing is about more than providing infrastructure - it involves working towards achieving the vision that our communities have identified for their future, and prompting their wellbeing. The Council's policies and activities all give consideration to the four facets of community well-being. In addition, they consider how they contribute to prompting and achieving the Community Outcomes which, in our district, reflect these four wellbeings.
CIVIL DEFENCE
A Civil Defence event can happen at any time and although we cannot predict when, where, or what damage they are going to cause, the best thing we can do is to be prepared. This can be as simple as putting together an emergency survival kit to knowing your local assembly and evacuation points.
An ongoing fire siren in Pauanui may be an indication that there is a Civil Defence warning in place. If this does occur, Council encourages residents to listen to National Radio or Coromandel More FM on 93.9fm.
In the case of a Civil Defence event, any emergency co-ordination will be based at the Fire Station on 60 Jubilee Drive. The assembly point will be the Sports and Recreation Club, located on Sheppard Avenue.
In the case of a tsunami warning, residents are encouraged to find higher ground. For more information or any other emergency management issues:
