Courier parcels and mail

Last updated: 11:00am, 18 March.

Unplanned aircraft maintenance by our third party aircraft supplier has resulted in delivery delays for mail and parcels travelling to and from the Chatham Islands. We are working hard to implement an alternative temporary solution, however please expect delays for the remainder of the month.

Scheduled roadworks to State Highway 1 will see the closure of the Brynderwyn Hills section of this road until mid-May. We have implemented alternative routes whilst these road works are carried out, however please expect minor delays for mail and parcels sent in and out of the Far North.

This page is updated as the situation changes, which may not be daily.
