Two of the Tararua District Councils’ Service Centres are about to undergo upgrades.
Work on the Dannevirke Service Centre will begin later this month, followed by Pahiatua in January.
Both buildings require earthquake strengthening – with Pahiatua’s building only at 10% of the New Building Standard, and Dannevirke at less than 34%.
Customer service staff working at the Dannevirke Service Centre will temporarily relocate to the Tararua Business Network from December 20th, with the Pahiatua customer services team relocating to the Town Hall from January 18 while the works are undertaken.
