Otumuheke upgrade completed and officially opened
The four-month long upgrade to Otumuheke Hot Stream in Taupo's Spa Park is complete and more than one hundred people turned out to celebrate its opening on Friday.
The area now has terraced seating, a viewing platform, changing rooms and toilets, a new bridge and story boards outlining the cultural significance of the area.
Four ceremonial pou have been erected at the entrance, and four ribbons, each representing one of the major stakeholders in the project, were stretched between the pou and cut to officially mark the area open.
