Otumuheke Stream revitalisation project recognised on national stage
Taupō District Council’s Otumuheke Stream revitalisation project last night received the Minister of Local Government's Award for Innovation in Council Community Relations at the Society of Local Government Managers (SOLGM) annual awards.
The award recognises programmes, projects or initiatives that demonstrate outstanding results through innovative means of community engagement, or community empowerment, and was presented by Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta.
The judges praised the revitalisation project for achieving the successful balance of supporting a tourist destination, with the need to protect the cultural and environmental heritage value of the site.
SOLGM’s Chief Advisor Raymond Horan said many local authorities face similar challenges and the project was an example of how to get things right.
