Plans to build a new car park on Egmont Road to help manage traffic heading up Taranaki Maunga have moved a step closer. Elected Members voted to approve the purchase of land for $290,000 at their full council meeting on 3 March. The more than 9000-square metre section is on a dairy farm next to Te Papakura o Taranaki National Park. It will eventually become a car park where a shuttle bus will pick up visitors to the mountain and national park, easing parking issues and helping to protect our Maunga.

All focus areas of the audit report were graded as “effective” which is the highest rating achievable. The report was noted by the Elected Members.
