Our focus now is on progressing that decision while also working with the community to shape what comes next for Dargaville.” In May 2026, elected members established the Northern Wairoa War Memorial Hall Working Group, following the loss of central government funding for the former Community Hub project and the approved demolition of the Hall and Annex.
