Poll: Are you registered to vote in the local elections?
A trusted deputy, a former councillor, a rescue chopper pilot, and a long-term incumbent should deliver one of the tightest mayoral races in the region when Taupō locals elect their new council.
Lining up for the mayoralty of the fast growing district is incumbent mayor David Trewavas, his deputy mayor and former police officer Kevin Taylor (who is also running for a seat on council), real estate agent, former councillor, and ACT party candidate Zane Cozens, and long-time Taupō resident and rescue helicopter pilot John Funnell.
