The legacy of people taken into state care who suffered neglect and abuse is a stain on our country’s history. Over the next three years, the Royal Commission will listen to stories about the experiences of people in state care and examine ways to stop any further abuse.

Before that process can begin, the Terms of Reference to define the scope and purpose of the Inquiry need to be set. Sir Anand would like to hear your views on the draft Terms of Reference so we can work together to make sure we don’t repeat the mistakes of the past.

This work is expected to take about two weeks to complete and to cause as little nuisance as possible to retailers and shoppers the work will take place between 5pm and 10pm.

There will be no parking in Leith Place between 5pm and 10pm so if you park in the Leith Place car park, please make sure your car is out by 4.30pm - just to be safe.

Pedestrians will still have access to the Leith Place shops during works - though at times there may be restrictions. We will let you know when this is the case.

We are sad to say goodbye to our trees, but exciting times are ahead for the Tokoroa CBD! Council would like to thank our community for their patience during this project.
