Drones legal in Tokoroa parks this summer
The South Waikato District Council has listened to the more than 25 submissions on the issue of whether drones should be allowed in the town's parks and stated that it is their intention that nobody be prosecuted for such activities.
This is a great step forward and gives Tokoroa residents and their children the same freedoms as residents of neighbouring towns and cities such as Rotorua and Tauranga.
On Thursday, Mayor Jenny Shattock drew the winner of a small drone which was offered as a prize by local drone enthusiast Mr Bruce Simpson.
"It is great to see that the council has listened to the voice of the people on this issue, a voice that was overwhelmingly in favour of allowing our people and their children to fly their toys and small drones in their parks" said Simpson.

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!
