23 RAGLAN BUS SERVICE UPDATE 😄

🚍 Residents travelling beyond Raglan town on the 23 Raglan bus during the WSL can continue their journey via shuttle transfer at no extra cost on certain services.

Residents travelling from Hamilton on the 8.30am or 12.20pm services who need to continue beyond town will be transferred to a shuttle bus free of charge, provided the regular bus fare has been paid.

Passengers wanting to travel from Manu Bay back to Hamilton on the 9.48am or 1.40pm services can also hail a shuttle bus between:
• 9.00am–9.45am
• 1.00pm–1.45pm

These temporary arrangements will be in place on competition days during the WSL window (15–25 May).

On competition days, 23 Raglan services that would normally travel to Manu Bay will terminate at the Raglan terminus at 72 Wainui Road. If competition is cancelled for the day, buses will operate as normal. Please allow extra travel time during this busy period.

More information and service updates: BUSIT Raglan updates

The World Surf League event begins at Manu Bay next Friday and runs from 15 – 25 May.

Competition is expected to run on 4 – 6 days within the event window, depending on surf and weather conditions. Updates on whether it’s a competition day will be shared on the WSL Instagram and through event alerts at worldsurfleague.com.

Traffic management will be in place on competition days to help manage busy periods safely, while maintaining access for people who live or work in the area, and for emergency services.

Traffic management measures include:
• a managed vehicle checkpoint at Ngarunui Beach Road
• stop/go traffic management at the one-way bridge on Wainui Road
• managed public entry to Manu Bay, with spectator Park & Ride transport operating from Raglan Airfield
• resident and business access maintained through local access passes
• emergency access maintained at all times
Residents and businesses directly affected by the Ngarunui Beach Road checkpoint were hand-delivered letters last Friday, including access passes.
We’re aware some businesses may not be located near Manu Bay but may still need to travel through the area for work.
To arrange pass collection or delivery, please contact the team at Raglan iHub:
