ABOUT US

Towncentre Taupō represents the interests of every business in Taupō's central business district. All such businesses, as defined by Taupō District Council, are, by default, members of TCT. Our primary aim is to promote the development of Taupō's town centre as a safe and vibrant community balancing social, environmental and economic needs while retaining its unique identity.

Towncentre Taupō (TCT) became an incorporated society in 2005.  It is funded by a special annual rate or a levy which is paid by members through rates to Taupō District Council.  This rate is returned to TCT to cover expenses, business development and promotion initiatives within the town centre.

    I chose Taupō as my home nearly 30 years ago and feel privileged to live, work and play here. My mission is to protect and enhance this boutique, unique town that I absolutely love by delivering on the plan set by the TCT Board each year. It is a real pleasure to work with such an energetic and motivated Board.

    As Towncentre Taupō's dedicated Project Co-Ordinator and Marketing maestro, I blend an 8-year rich tapestry of marketing expertise with a lifetime of love for Taupō. Born and raised here, I've watched this town evolve, each change echoing my own journey from local child to passionate professional. For me, this wonderland is HOME and will forever be. I came on board with TCT to help evolve the town’s presence and help bring exciting projects/events to the CBD.

    I have many happy childhood memories of holidays in Taupō, and after years away living in different size towns all over the world, I was thrilled when we moved here in 2014. In that time I have fallen more in love with Taupō and its surrounding areas. I feel so lucky to now work with TCT and its board, who all love Taupō and want to work towards preserving and enhancing this really special place. #LOVETAUPO!
