Taupō District Council’s reserves committee has approved a scaled down plan from Tūwharetoa Māori Trust Board subsidiary Taupō Moana Group Holdings to develop the Hole in One golf operation on the Taupō lakefront.
After taking the community’s views into account, the company scaled down stage 1 of its proposal and took stage 2 off the table, which involved developing the entire site into a multi-functional facility that would potentially include an events space, education centre, a visitor centre and accessible waterfront.
The committee’s changes to the Tapuaeharuru Bay Reserve Management Plan will allow for a lightweight open-sided roof structure over the tees to provide for all-weather use, a minimal kiosk/ticket office with a small public toilet attached, and an open viewing area to enable spectators and customers to safely wait without affecting passing cycle and pedestrian traffic.
