Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern today took part in a tour of the Taupō Town Centre Transformation project, calling it “the most shovel-ready project I’ve seen”.

In July, the project received $20.6 million in government funding as part of the ‘shovel ready’ Crown Infrastructure Partners Fund, and is one of the country’s first funded projects to break ground.

Local jobs, transforming our CBD and enhancing our connection to the lake were all on the agenda, with the project expected to create 92 full time jobs over two years, and transform our public places into spaces that attract people to spend time and invest in the town centre.

As part of the tour, the Prime Minister visited the intersection upgrade work site on Ruapehu and Tuwharetoa St.

Programme Delivery Manager Ian Gray said it was important for the Prime Minister to see the significant progress already underway as a result of government support.

The Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern officially opened the Great Lake Pathway today, at a small ceremony on the lakefront.

The ceremony celebrated the completion of the lakefront path upgrade, which commenced in January, and included widening of the path and erosion control works to create a more user-friendly experience for locals and visitors, accommodate an increase and changing use of our lakefront, and enhance the cultural importance of this outstanding natural area.

Mayor David Trewavas said having the Prime Minister join to celebrate the opening with the community and local hapu and landowners Waipahihi C75 Trust was a real delight.

“This project has been a significant undertaking over the last eight months, including pouring over 4km of concrete, and it was fitting to be able to celebrate this final milestone with the Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern,” he said.

“The upgraded pathway looks amazing, the team have done a fantastic job. The attention to detail surrounding the significance to local iwi and hapu is a real highlight.

“This is a real asset to the district and one we can all be proud of – and use regularly – with improved access for all users.”
