Remuera businesses can resolve many issues by reporting problems themselves:
Rubbish or Reycling Bins not emptied
- Call Auckland Council on 09 301 0101 immediately to log a job if your bin has been missed
- Remuera Road and Clonbern Lane bins are usually emptied on Friday morning
- Norana Ave, St Vincent Ave and Clonbern Road bins are usually emptied on Monday morning
- Following a public holiday, collection is usually one day later
Bags of rubbish abandoned on the footpath
- Call Auckland Council on 09 301 0101 to log a job
Cardboard Recycling Cages overflowing
- Call Reclaim on 09 571 0242 to notify them of the problem
- Cardboard recycling bins are usually emptied on Tuesday and Thursday mornings
- More frequent emptying may be required in the lead-up to Christmas - ask RBA to organise
Dog poo on the footpath
- Call Auckland Council on 09 301 0101 to log a job
- Tell them it is an urgent one hour service required to clean up dog poo
- Unfortunately it is probably faster for businesses to clean the dog poo themselves, before it get stepped on
- Remuera footpaths are cleaned with water by Auckland Council contractors every Sunday evening, so any dog poo residue should be removed at that time.
- Contact the RBA if there is an ongoing problem with footpath cleanliness
Footpaths that are cracked, broken or unsafe
- Auckland Transport owns the footpaths and gives permission for various contractors to access utilities in them
- Footpaths are often left dangerously patched by contractors, and become tripping hazards
- Issues with the footpath should be notified to Auckland Transport immediately, especially if a health & safety incident has occurred.
- If urgent, call Auckland Transport on 09 355 3553 or log a job online with a Feedback Form on the Auckland Transport website.
- Take a photo of the footpath to upload when you are filling out the Feedback Form.
- You will be emailed a Job Number - keep this as it is often necessary to follow up to make sure the job is completed.
- Contact the RBA if there is an ongoing footpath issue that is not being fixed.
Roadworks interfering with business operation
- Contact the RBA Manager, who can speak directly to Auckland Transport officers.
- Auckland Transport owns the footpath and carriageway, and gives approval for any contractors to work in them.
- The RBA should be advised by Auckland Transport contractors in advance of any road works that will affect local businesses, especially if car parks are to be coned off.
- Affected businesses should also be advised directly by the contractors prior to work starting.
Anything else? Contact the RBA Manager who can help to resolve the problem.
