Poll: Does Taupō need more tall buildings?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A new 7-storey hotel with a rooftop pool could be an iconic feature of the Taupō CBD skyline in coming years. The proposed hotel is yet to be approved but it would be the tallest building in Taupō.

Developers want to use an undeveloped carpark on Tuwharetoa St, beside Vine Eatery & Bar, and opposite Hell Pizza. The carpark is privately owned. The proposed hotel features 86 rooms and a roof-top pool, restaurant and bar, according to its resource consent application.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
