Poll: Do you think a motel will be good for the Lake Karāpiro area?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Waipā is losing accommodation dollars to Hamilton and Rotorua because it doesn’t have enough beds for visitors at Lake Karāpiro, say event managers at Mighty River Domain.

Deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk and husband Andrew Reymer – who have managed the reserve for 20 years - have seen a “complete transformation” of reserve use over the years.

Have you seen fisheries officers out and about?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Dumping your illicit catch then fleeing fisheries officers is about the worst thing you can do this summer and one group in Raglan found this out the hard way.

They were picked up as authorities ramp up their compliance work at boatramps across the region to make sure fishers are sticking to the rules. While most do - some even have their own sustainability codes - others do not.
