Do you know the original owners of Tūrangi Kiwi Holiday Park?

Libby Totton Reporter from Taupō Times

A Tūrangi camping ground abandoned by a former leaseholder after they went broke owing almost $40,000 in rates could be handed back to its traditional Māori owners - if they can be identified.

The Taupō District Council will meet next week to discuss a recommendation to dispose of 4.8ha of land upon which the Tūrangi Kiwi Holiday Park sits after it was closed suddenly in November 2021.
