The future of a planned eight storey hotel in Taupō's CBD is headed into the courtroom in the new year.
Mediation, facilitated by the Environment Court, between developer Cypress Capital Investments Ltd and the Taupō District Council, and involving others as interested parties, has ended with no announcement of an agreement acceptable to all.
So the matter will now be decided by the Environment Court.

It's not uncommon for mums to pump breast milk in hot cars, cleaning cupboards, shower stalls or in disabled toilets due to a lack of lactation rooms. Are you a mum who's struggled with this?

In 2018, council created a 1.5m wide concrete footpath along part of Huka Falls Road, with plans to eventually extend the path on to the Huka Falls.
While the works begin next week, the road will remain open until November 25.
Head of operations Kevin Strongman said this part of the extension will complete the final phase of the footpath.
“Once finished, the new footpath will be a great addition to the area.
“It will start from opposite Clearwater Lane and run 2.5km along the road, past Hipapatua Recreation and Reserve and onto the falls,” he said.
Temporary diversions will be put in place while the work is underway, with access still available to Huka Lodge at all times from the southern end of Huka Falls Road (where the lookout is).
Access to the Huka Falls themselves will also be available at all times from the northern end of Huka Falls Road, where Kefi at the Hub is located, to Huka Falls from Taupo.
An alternative route for pedestrians and cyclists will be signposted via the riverbank route and Spa Thermal Park.
Signage will be set up at both ends of Wairakei Drive informing motorists of the closure.
Pedestrians and cyclists on Huka Falls Road can divert through the Redwoods track and Kev’s track to bypass the worksite.
“Thank you for your patience as we work to create the footpath for everyone to enjoy.”
