Taupō hapū to restore public access to popular lakeside reserve

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

A Taupō hapu has agreed to restore full public access, and even enlarge the size of a popular lakeside campground, at Motutere on State Highway 1.

After a long and drawn out consultation process, with 921 pages of submissions, involving Ngāti Tuwharetoa hapū Ngāti Te Rangiita ki Waitetoko, Taupō District Council, the general public, and the Australian-based leaseholder and owner of Motutere Bay Holiday Park, councillors voted to approve a new management plan for the Motutere Recreation Reserve.
