Kerikeri was among 11 towns in the Northland region which the government shortlisted for funding ultra-fast broadband in 2015.

To achieve ultra-fast broadband a link between Hikurangi and Towai would need to be completed to connect the existing Top Energy cabling in our area with the North Power cabling system in the Whangarei District.

This will be important infrastructure to attract jobs and investment to our area.

We will keep you posted on progress.
