On Sunday 27 September 2026, Northland’s tsunami sirens will be tested. They will sound once at 10:00am for up to two minutes, emitting the familiar siren tone followed by a voice message.The tsunami sirens are tested twice a year, coinciding with the start and end of daylight saving.Check if you live, work or play in a tsunami evacuation zone, and plan your safest evacuation route.
Visit the art museum for touring and internally-curated exhibitions designed to showcase the full diversity of creative art practice in Northland and New Zealand.
The art museum fulfils a broad role:
The Whangārei Art Museum is funded by Whangarei District Council.
You can borrow a mobility scooter for free from Whangārei Art Museum to get around the Town Basin and the Loop. It has enough power to complete the entire loop, and visit all the experiences the area has to offer.
It was donated to our District by NorthAble in 2014.
To use the scooter, call the Art Museum between 10:00am and 4:00pm seven days a week or call in as you are passing.
