Local Council Elections 2019
One more week to go until we start to receive our voting papers in the mail (20th to 25th September).
Hi I’m Mo, first-time candidate running for Taupō District Council. You may have seen my profile in the Taupō & Tūrangi Weekender on Thursday. I wanted to let you know a little more about what I stand for, which is:
• Inclusivity – meeting the needs of our entire district, diverse in culture and perspective.
• Protection of our environment - restoring green spaces and waterways and promoting green initiatives.
• Ensuring future generations are not overburdened with meeting the cost of living in our beautiful district.
• Prioritisation of spending on essential services – tackling infrastructure issues before entering into other large-scale financial commitments.
• Better communication - between Council and our community.
• A more representative council - younger voice, fresh perspective, free from ties to big business.
Please get in touch if you have any questions for me. I’d love to hear from you.

A Valentine’s-inspired wedding dress show at Ryman Healthcare’s Logan Campbell Village is providing the perfect opportunity for residents to share memories of their romantic day.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
