Taupō District Council is to seek expressions of interest from parties interested in running a market in Taupō after the current lease expires at the end of the year.

The lease for the current market at Riverside Park expires on December 31 and the council has identified Northcroft Domain as its preferred location for a future farmers and craft market. However, proposals or alternative sites will also be considered to ensure the ‘best fit’ for the district, and the council is also keen to hear of alternative or unique ideas on how the market could be successful.

Mayor David Trewavas said the Taupō market was an important part of the social fabric of the community. “We absolutely see value in having a market and we are excited to see what proposals come forward,” he said.

Calls for expressions of interest are sought from anyone interested in organising and/or managing a vibrant market environment for all the community.

What roads in our region need fixing?

Nicola Brennan-Tupara Reporter from Taupō Times

Hi neighbours,
The National Road Carriers Association recently put a call out on its Facebook page for people to start sending them photos of potholed and cracked highways.
They want to show the Government how poor local roads really are.
So are there any roads around our region in need of fixing?

The Turangi Turtle Pools’ popular swimming challenge will now also be held at the AC Baths.

The challenge is named in honour of Margaret Sweeny, who represented New Zealand in breaststroke the 1950 British Empire Games and who was the first person to swim the length of Lake Taupō. Ms Sweeney made the crossing from south to north in 1955 in a time of 13 hours and 39 mins. Entrants in the Margaret Sweeney Challenge must swim 25 or 50 kilometres over a three-month period, with those who finish the former distance receiving a certificate and those doing the 50km distance being awarded a medal. Entrants can choose how much and how often they want to swim, in order to compete the distance they choose, so the Challenge is suitable for all fitness levels and schedules.
