Developer hails potential for ‘hundreds of jobs’ at new 187-home Tokoroa development
Tokoroa is set to get 187 new homes - including as many as 31 “affordable” $550,000 properties - after resource consent has been granted for the Strathmore Park development.
South Waikato District Council also said the development would provide “significant employment opportunities” at a time when Tokoroa has been left reeling with the loss of up to 230 jobs at the Kinleith Mill.
From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
