RECLASSIFICATION OF WHAKATANE COUNTY ROADS
New classification of roads in the Whakatane County has been approved by the Minister of Transport. Most of the roads are classified class 4 but a number are in classes 2 and 3. This reclassification means that some roads are jiow classified to carry heavier loads but other roads have had their loads decreased.
