Road layout changes

Darren Petry from Taupō District Council

​​After consultation with road safety experts, this weekend sees road layout changes for the Spa Road to Tongariro Street roundabout and Norman Smith to Wairakei Drive interchange.

The work for both sites is to be completed this weekend​ weather permitting. Signage reflecting these changes will be installed. Further signage will be placed on State Highway 1 to direct traffic to other entrances into Taupō, to take pressure off Wairakei Drive at peak times.

Further changes are proposed in the short, medium and long term to improve traffic flow through Taupo's CBD and ease congestion at Norman Smith Street/Wairakei Drive.

These changes are outlined in the Long-term Plan available from Monday, March 12 and we welcome submissions from the community on the proposed changes.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
