    Water has finally been fully restored in Dargaville after a massive outage caused by four separate pipeline ruptures last week. Friday's breakages in the 40-kilometre water supply pipeline all but emptied the town's water reservoir and left most homes without running water or under tight restrictions. Kaipara District Council said water was restored to the last homes on upper Hokianga Road, late on Sunday afternoon.

    More than 400 people have marched down Kaikohe's main street to honour the tragically short life of Catalya Remana Tangimetua-Pepene. The 3-year-old died at her home last month, and a 45-year-old man has since been charged with her murder. Her death has rocked the small Northland town, which on Monday sought to remember her with a hīkoi starting at the top of Broadway, near the housing complex where she lived.

    Fisheries Minister Shane Jones says a ban on taking crayfish from Northland's east coast is on the cards as warnings grow about the species' "perilous" decline. Jones said consultation on the proposal would start soon and would be controversial. The details were still being worked out, but it would likely entail a closure from a point south of Mangawhai to the Muriwhenua area at the top of the Far North. The ban would apply to both recreational and commercial fishers.

    Neighbours of a three-year-old girl who died at her home in Northland last week say they are heartbroken by the death of a child whose smile was so bright it "lit up the whole world". The child, named by the funeral home as Catalya Remana Tangimetua-Pepene, was found unresponsive when emergency services were called to her home in Kaikohe last Wednesday. The child, known to family as Remana, died despite medics' efforts to save her.
