Turangi Service Centre on the move temporarily

Taupo District Council's Turangi office will undergo a refit over the coming months in preparation for Department of Conservation staff to move into the building later this year.

While the work is taking place, Turangi Service Centre staff will move temporarily to Turangi Library where you'll be able to talk to our team about all the usual council services.

Turangi Tongariro Community Board chair Andy Hema said the move to have DoC staff working alongside council staff was beneficial for the Turangi community.

"Bringing DoC and council together in this space will naturally allow more cohesiveness between the two organisations, which will mean better environmental and community outcomes for the southern Lake Taupo area.

"It also allows us to better utilise the building and bring more workers into Turangi Mall, adding to the vitality to the town centre."

Council staff will be based in Turangi Library from today with refit work commencing shortly. Service centre staff will be available to assist the community between 8am and 4.30pm, Monday to Friday.

Council and DoC staff will move back into the service centre building later this year, and we'll let you know when they're back in their refurbished space.
