The council’s customer services team took out second place in the Customer Experience Award, presented as part of the 2019 Association of Local Government Information Management (ALGIM) Spring Conference.
The awards were judged on a mystery shopper's experience that anonymously assessed customer services and responses.
Head of communications and customer relations Lisa Nairne said the award confirmed the team’s commitment to excellent customer service.
“The community is always at the forefront of everything we do and to be recognised so highly – out of 78 local authorities across the country – is a great achievement.”
Mindful colouring has been proven to help reduce stress and anxiety and induce a meditative-like state in adults too.

Hi I’m Mo, first-time candidate running for Taupō District Council. You may have seen my profile in the Taupō & Tūrangi Weekender on Thursday. I wanted to let you know a little more about what I stand for, which is:
• Inclusivity – meeting the needs of our entire district, diverse in culture and perspective.
• Protection of our environment - restoring green spaces and waterways and promoting green initiatives.
• Ensuring future generations are not overburdened with meeting the cost of living in our beautiful district.
• Prioritisation of spending on essential services – tackling infrastructure issues before entering into other large-scale financial commitments.
• Better communication - between Council and our community.
• A more representative council - younger voice, fresh perspective, free from ties to big business.
Please get in touch if you have any questions for me. I’d love to hear from you.
