Taupō District Council

Leading locally

Better than competent

Mayor, councillors and staff share a maturing vision for the future of the district and enjoy strong relationships with iwi and the community. Council operates as a cohesive organisation with a collective commitment to improving the four well-beings of the district.

 

Investing money well

Performing well

Council has set a clear long-term financial vision for the district through its Financial Strategy and enjoys good day-to-day financial management from a very able finance team.

Delivering what’s important

Better than competent

The scale of growth in the district presents challenges for all Council operations, but particularly for infrastructure. It is therefore significant that both the planning and delivery of infrastructure services within Council remains a focus. 

 

Listening and responding

Better than competent

Council undertakes effective engagement with the community using a variety of media. The interaction with iwi is particularly trusted and effective. Increased dialogue with businesses will help support Council’s aspirations and commitment to the district.
