Taupō airport manager retires

Darren Petry from Taupō District Council

Taupō airport manager Michael Groome is standing down after 12 years in the role.

Mr Groome has had an extensive career in aviation, both in operational roles and as a pilot, and has also been a farmer. He initially signed up for a one-year fixed contract but stayed on and has overseen several important milestones at the airport, including a new safety management system.

Head of economic development and business transformation John Ridd says Mr Groome’s contribution to the airport and the Taupō Airport Authority has been outstanding, and he will be greatly missed.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
