Urban HQ
* What do you think of the Urban HQ proposal for Turangi?
Type NFP if you do not want your comments used for publication.
- The Turangi Tongariro Community Board (TTCB) has been presented with a commercial proposal to set up a container development in Turangi for start-up businesses dubbed ‘Urban HQ’.
The proposed site is the public carpark located at the south-end of the Turangi Town Centre.
This site is currently classed as a roadway, and as leasing a legal road is not permitted, the TTCB would need to recommend that council grants a Licence to Occupy.
The Board is seeking feedback from the community on the change in use of the public carpark.
