Taupō is one of the North Island’s most-visited destinations for New Zealanders and international tourists. Playing host to dozens of events each year, and with a relatively small local population compared to the influx of visitors, ad hoc development of the town centre focussed around providing accommodation, and lacked a cohesive plan.

Papakainga Housing - a Taupo case study

Papakāinga. It’s a traditional form of whānau-based communal living on ancestral Māori land that I strongly believe in; in terms of whānau support and well-being. I can’t help but feel passionate about it. So, when a papakāinga project in the Taupō District came up for a Tūrangi-based whānau, I jumped at the opportunity to be part of the project team.
