New Year's Day litter pick-up
We all love living and visiting our district so why not take the opportunity on New Year’s Day to get together with friends and continue to look after the place we love?
A litter pick-up event is organised for January 1 between 8am and 10am at the Lakefront Reserve (opposite Taupō Mini Golf).
You are welcome to show up at anytime through until 10am and stay for as little or as long as you want. Everything is provided (although gumboots may be a good idea for areas where water level is high).
Come along, keep our lakefront looking great and treat yourself at the end with pancakes fresh of the griddle!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
