Local architectural firm Stephenson and Turner has been chosen to design Taupō’s new airport terminal building.

The new terminal is to be built as part of an airport redevelopment made possible with $5 million in funding from the Provincial Growth Fund and $870,000 from the New Zealand Upgrade Programme. The redevelopment will include a new car park and the expansion of the airside apron to allow larger aircraft to operate safely, as well as the new terminal facility.

Paul Raven of Stephenson and Turner said the firm had extensive experience in aviation architecture having worked on Auckland Airport’s international and domestic terminals and the team were excited to be working on something much closer to home.

“We are delighted to be selected for this project and are looking forward to working with Taupō District Council, the key stakeholders and local businesses to deliver Taupō’s new airport terminal facility,” he said.

Does anyone know who I could complain to about junk mail?


I have a "please no advertising" sign on my letterbox.
It used to work.

But now who ever is delivering the advertising has loaded up my letterbox and its now falling on the ground.

I have not emptied the letterbox for a few weeks now and they cannot fit anymore junk mail , so now they have started putting it on top of the letterbox.

Because my letterbox is so laden with advertising, I wonder if the mailman will bother putting my genuine mail in the box?


I purposely replaced my old letterbox with a small one to deter advertising mail.


Do you think they should make a new regulation, that you should only receive advertising if you have subscribed to it?


If the person delivering the advertising can see the box is full, why do they keep trying to put more in it and on it? And on the ground? Is this legal? Its littering.
