Mayor Trewavas recovering well after transplant operation
Taupō Mayor David Trewavas and his wife Anna are recovering well following the kidney transplant procedure they underwent on Monday. The Mayor was diagnosed as requiring a kidney transplant in 2018, and had been on a waiting list for the transplant procedure.
Mayor Trewavas said he would like to once again thank his wife for being the donor, as well as the medical teams involved in Taupō, Rotorua and Hamilton hospitals, and the incredible renal surgeons and team at Auckland City Hospital. Mr Trewavas also thanked his colleagues at Taupō District Council and the people of the Taupō District and throughout New Zealand for their best wishes and support.
Deputy Mayor Rosie Harvey, who is acting Mayor in Mr Trewavas's absence, said the Mayor would be recuperating throughout January and she wished both him and his wife a speedy recovery.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
