Poll: Does Taupō need more tall buildings?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A new 7-storey hotel with a rooftop pool could be an iconic feature of the Taupō CBD skyline in coming years. The proposed hotel is yet to be approved but it would be the tallest building in Taupō.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

It’s also a hit with Georgina's 13-year-old granddaughter, Brooklyn, who loves serving it warm with gooey custard or a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream.
