Taupo District Council

Old fixed

• Maintenance

  The wire netting sign advertising upcoming events is well past it's useby date and has been in a bad state of repair for some time. Surely Taupo can do much better than this.
• Ohuanga Rd Town Centre Carpark Gardens

  There are two garden plots unplanted and weed infested for a year now. I see complaints in the Turangi Chronicle - of falling standards and with this lack of performance they are jutified. Gareth Green's answer was unbelievable, staff have been on and you have had time. TDC now have no qualified horticulture staff based in the Turangi staff where they can observe and remedy garden issues and current staff are sicere but untrained eg. can't recognise plant health problems and but that was the current managements choice with the most qualified staff member now driving mower tractors. It's sad to see the 25 years begun by Graham Pilet's forsight to employ qualified gardeners and to have made significant progress over the years in the town amenity horticulture and landscapes and now to see it slowly but surely regressing.
• Rubbish dumped in reserve

  Not for the first time, a pile of junk rubbish has been dumped on the reserve area at the parking and turn around at the Southern end of Wharewaka road. The Council have always been very good at cleaning it up on previous occasions. It appears as though this is a repeat offender !
• Tree need lifting

  Tree needs lifting - in wet weather it droops down and obscures pedestrains crossing toward Town Centre - I have already reported this once after seeing a near miss - a trim of lower branches is all that is required.
• Trees

  Hi, These trees have been an ongoing issue for many years. There are a row of trees beside paerata road from the intersection of Tirohanga road up paerata road for about two km. Every time there is a storm many branches fall onto the road and somtimes the top of a tree would blow out across the road and has to be removed by a tractor. Last year one completly blocked the road and landed across the oppsite fence. I have rang Council three times regarding this issue over the last few months and been assured I will be contacted by the relevent person but still waiting. Please give this your attention as these trees are over 50 years old and are becomming dangrous. Kind regarde David Treloar

  The Southern Entrance door glass has been broken. There was a second set of doors - removed to the Turangi Gibson St depot and stored for parts and glass may be available from that set for this repair.

  Placement of Bus Stop, IE 1 to close to the corner of Birch Street,2 to close to traffic island, some one is going to get killed at this point, KIDDLE DRIVE/BIRCH STREET
• Danger to navigation log to be removed from lakefront
• Fence Broken still

  The fence is still an eyesore and left with boards stacked in garden at base - a few nails and a hammer, and 15 min staff time would do fix it so at least it doesn't look tacky and neglected as it has for the past 3 months.

• Dumped on Reserve

  At the Waipapa Reserve northern most Eucalypt tree an old bed carcass has been dumped under the tree.
• Bad road

  Can we please have this road fixed! There aren't pot holes as such but the road is very badly uneven and dangerous. It collects a lot of water even after just a shower. The worst part is from the Poihipi Rd end and continues for about 2km. Is it possible to have a bridal path along it also as there are a lot of horses riding on the road and it is a very narrow road and it's only a matter of time before a stock truck has a head on with a child on their pony. We have a number of stock trucks on the road weekly.
• On crown road behind Tauhara Primary School

  There is a dirt road behind Tauhara Primary School that leads to Atawhaii Kohanga that has dirty great big pot holes in it. Please can we have something done about it
• Footpath Encroachment

  Vegetation is completely blocking the footpath on the corner.
• Broken bollard Toyota hilux rego NYU915 did on 30 jan
• Aluminium strip coming off
• Fire Hazard Property

  I was appraoched re the ex-Turangi Primary School site that has now got long dry grass on it. I referred the enquired to make complaint to TDC - but for the record it is poor that this property is being allowed to have such rank vegetation and could endanger many adjoining properties if fire catches hold of the grass.
• Footpath Encroachment

  The vegetation from 202 Tautahanga Rd, Turangi has overgrown the footpath to the point where pedestrians are now wearing a track on the grasss berm to get past it. 202 Tautahanga Rd, I have reported this once and not attended to yet. I'm dispointed at level of service.
• Stones from burst water pipe

  Hi just wondering how long it will be before all the stones that were washed down from the burst water pipe on Cumberland Street on Tuesday will be removed. I am concerned that someone will think it would be fun to throw them around and they are also creating a hazard for people arriving at my house, thanks for your time :)
• hole in road

  On corner (sth east) side of road a small tomo like hole has appeared in the seal. The hole is about 150mm dia and 350 mm deep as though water is forming a pipe in the road to a trench beneath
• Vegetation Encroachment

  The vegetation from 202 Tautahanga Rd, Turangi has overgrown the footpath to the point where pedestrians are now wearing a track on the grasss berm to get past it.
• Tree Stump dangerous

  At 114 Tautahanaga Road, a wattle tree that was growing on the street side of the boundary betweeen 114 & 116 Tautahanga Rd toppled in the wind Feb 2011 and the Council pulled it off the street. However the job was not completed and the stump was never cleared up properly and still remains sticking up as a hazard right beside the footpath.
• Tagging
• McLaren Park Playground

  Play equipment - Dangerous, one board missing from swinging bridge - probably needs 1# 150x50 x 900mm Dressed timber board with 4 largere screw to hold to chain Soft fall bark need rotary hoeing to loosen up so soft for fallsr
• Ohuanga Rd - sth side Carpark berms

  February 2011 two berm areas had plants removed but have never been reinstated with grass or plantings and remain a weed infested eyesore on one of the most public areas. Other side gardens need a good weed, and the fences with 15minmaintnace with a hammer and nails to reinstate the knocked off pailings would held the area at least look as though someomne cared.
• Business car parking

  Tuwharetoa Street between Kaimanawa Streets and Titraupenga Streets is getting dangerous for traffic passing through. Several accidents/near misses due to cars parking both sides of road narrowing road for passing vehicles. Is hard to see oncoming traffic when pulling out of driveways. Staff and customers of accounting business at #109 Tuwharetoa St etc appear to be the main culprits (insufficent parking for their clients and staff as the same vehicles are often parked there all day during weekdays). Delivery vehicles/buses/trucks struggle to pass also.
• Berm/blackberry

  There does not seem to have been any action on this issue - fallen and dead trees could be dangerous and blackberry is overtaking the whole berm.
• Broken Sign
• Barrier broken

  Barrier is boken with opne board removed - been like this for over a week now
• weeds in center swales

  weeds need removing in all the center swales in the Wharewaka sub-division.

• Safety issue - on cnr of Te Urunga Pl and Acacia Bay Road

  The trees on the corner of the above streets, prevent driver from clearly seeing cars coming from the right hand side without pulling out into the road.
• Stornwater Cess Pit Lid

  Waipapa Reserve - Millennium Walkway area just east of the Kaheke Place Baden Powell Hall- there is a stormwater cess pit grate that is being removed and dropped into the cess pit. Twice now in the last month and a half I have found the CI grate dropped into the cess pit and pulled it out and replaced it on the frames so the cess pit is safe. Left off someone could trip/fall into it. It may be that the lid needs securing on - it seems someone is periodically lifting it off and dropping it in.
• Broken street sign
• Berm - blackberry and dead trees

  Along the berm from the corner of Kaahu Road to the first of the private sections, there is a lot of overgrown blackberry (dead) and there are dead trees - some of which have already fallen - others that are in danger of falling onto the road also.
• Dangerous/Agressive Dogs

  2 x dogs at 146 Rangatira repeatedly jump the fence (between 146 and 144) and threaten other dogs and people passing by.
• Inappropriate tree on berm

  The current tree (or shrub) is unattractive and also a hazard for any driver pulling onto Tautahanga Road from 190. I would like permission to remove it and dump it free of charge and replace with another specimen. Thinking more of a tree rather than shrub.
• Almost dead flowering cherry

  The flowering cherry tree outside the section at 188 Tautahanga Road is mostly dead and could be a hazard as this is the second summer that it has been like it
• Graffiti on the side of first national building
• Farmers service lane at back of house of Steak and Ale

  large potholes
• Diseased Kowhai
• Sewer Manhole

  On the opposite side of Tautahanga Rd from 180 & 182 Tautahanga Rd is a sewer manhole that is progressively being buried under vegetation waste being dumped on top of it. The MH is on the main trunk sewer main and would be prudent and part of preventitive maintenance to keep it cleared. I belive the vegetation os probably being dumped from properies on the oppoite side of the road as the are where the MH is located is fenced but in an undeveloped state with blackeberry etc.
• Idiot doing burnouts on Hinekura Ave

  Some muppet in a green ute with dark/black decal on the side of the ute, with mags, from around the indicated area was doing burnouts on Sunday 11 December up and down the road. Who do we report this guy to?
• Graffitti on Building walkway wall

  Fresh graffiti on the Extreme Carpets building walkway wall towards Mitre 10
• Illegal rubbish dump

• Rubbish Bins

  The Bins are old and need replacing, and should be located closer to the picnic tables. And they are to small to need to be larger like the ones in Taupo and Turangi town Centres. And is it possible to install Recycle bins as well.
• re staking and tying

  tree at end of culdesac which needs to be looked at outside number 9 many thanks
• Slippery chamber cover

  On the evening of saturday 18/06/11, I, along with friends, were walking south along Tongariro St, just before the traffic lights, when one of the females in our group slipped backwood on one of the two chamber covers due to the cover being so very slippery. I too nearly toppled when I slipped on the lid as a tried to save her fall. She is ok but has a bruised back today,19/06/11. I scuffed my foot over the other chamber lid to see if that too was as slippery to find it was as bad. Although our woman friend is ok, the result of the fall could have been worse for her, and worries me to think if an elderly person was to slip on one of these covers.
• Speed sign down

  Broken sign next to the TDC treatment plant on pokuru road north.
• Street Light out

  The Street Light outside number 3 Barbary Close is not working.
• Light is out

  The street light is not working. Location is first light on left on Lakemere Way.
• Grass verge

  The grass verge outside 130-136 Roberts st needs digging out and re-sowing, this is only 150m from the council offices,,, i wonder how many council staff drive by this mess everyday and do nothing about it ?
• Lake Foreshore Erosion/Protection

  The protection "mattress" has rotted and disintegrated, and the erosion cavities are almost undermining the walkway. It's a diabolical disgrace and it's been like it for many weeks, if not months. It's not a good look for Taupo for both residents and visitors. So it needs some FIXIT attention URGENTLY and it needs to be done PROPERLY. In fact this, and a few other similar deficiencies, would be a far more appropriate use for the extra $100,000 which the council proposes to give to DGLT.
• Hedge overgrowing public walkway

  In the public walkway between Hinekura Ave (by #70) and Hinemoa - at the Hinemoa end the hedge is overgrowing the public walkway. It is down to a single file to get past the hedge

  Hirangi Road about 50-100 m west of the Awamate Rd and on the farm side of the road intersection there has been remains of an animal there for a month - it is in two parts now - not a big job to remove.

  There is a short distance roughly from 43 Kaihua to 55 Kaihua missing a concrete footpath on the Eastern side of the street. Please "finish the job"

• Barrier Damaged

  Barrier at the cuol-de-sac on Waipapa Rd has been smashed over the weekend.
• Curb Crossings

  The curb crossings at the intersection of Tamamutu Street and Tiriraupenga Street are dangerous to use in a wheelchair or mobility scooter. Considering this is the route into town from one of Taupo's main rest homes (St John's Wood in Tamamutu Street)I feel new curb letdowns that meet NZ Standard Access Code regulations should be a priority in this area.
• Street Light Not Working

  at 166 Tautahanga Road
• bulb out

  light not going outside 39/41 Wakeman Rd
• street light not working properly

  Corner street light flicks on and off outside 25 Olive Avenue. It is off for up to a minute and could be dangerous for traffic turning into Olive Ave.also annoying for bedroom opposite.
• Graffiti removal on fence

  Red and green spray paint on the right of way wooden fence 28-30 Tawa Street, also on the street front to the right of driveway. It would be lovely if this could be taken care of. :-)
• stones on road

  The corner of King and Mapara Rd (and the corner of King and Ross Rise) has no 'barriers' of any sort to stop vehicles cutting over the edge of the road, causing stones to be spread over the intersection. This is an on-going problem, and is a danger to traffic (and windscreens), particularly motorbikes. My suggestion is to run a section of kerbing along the road side to stop vehicles going over the edge of the road and ripping up the asphalt. Regards.
• Footpath Trip Hazard - 4 Hinerangi Place, Turangi

  4 Hinerangi St - beside Angus McCreadie's south side fence a footpath trip hazard has increasingly developed- lifting of footpath by tree roots. Good one to put on the doo list before someone falls over it. Thanks

  Between Noni St (Sperry Propoerty) and SH 1 is a narrow reserve. A polystyrene bin lid has been on the reserve foir a week but is now broken into a number of pieces and is making an unsightly entrance to Turangi. It is on the west side of SH1, at the Sth entrance speed retsriction islands.

• Vehicle entranceMetal on road

  Hirangi Rd - entrance to Tongariro Sports Rugby Club - just by the Turangi Park boundary - the entance drive way metal has come on to the edge of seal and formes a mound on the seal and if cycling along presents a hazard that has to be swerved around and puts the cyclist out into the paths of following carss. Can it be cleaned back so that its is clear of the edge of the seal. It would make it a bit safer cycling along that road? Thanks
• Filthy Cobbles

  Please send a scrubbing machine or steam cleaner/ water blaster to the footpath outside Keehans Pharmacy and Red Cross.
• Median strip and drainage needs attention. Looks terrible
• Hirangi Road Henderson's Hump

  Henderson's Hump on the footpath on the south side of Hirangi Road, just opposite Flight's driveway entrance, and near the Awamate Rd intersection [installed by Roy from roading after Rob Henderson contuinual complaint to the CEO] has had vegetation dumped on the downstream side of the drainage pipe beneath the hump, for several weeks now and looks like it cause a block if left there. Some fly tipping litter is also there.

  The hedge at 155 Rifle Range Road is planted on the council berm, and is now more than halfway across the footpath. It needs a severe pruning if not total removal.
• Man hole missing road off stag park entrance
• Great Lake Walkway

  The Great Lake Walkway in front of Clearwater Motels has not yet been repaired after several months and requests to Council. Council put Hirepool barriers accross the area several months ago after a request but still no fix so area still remains a safety hazard.
• General Maintenance

  The walkway under Docherty Drive has been fouled by excretement and toilet paper for several months. Can we please have general mainteneance of this whole area on a regular basis.
• dip in road

  There is a significant dip / depression in the road at the point marked (possibly due to subsidence?). At 100 kph there is a noticeable thump as a vehicle passes over the dip - the edge of the road is becoming damaged as drivers veer left to avoid the worst of the problem. Regards.
• Tomo on Berm

  After Unison repaired the powercut in Oct 2010 this tomo appeared on the berm on the corner of Hyde Ave and Avon Close. It is a hazzard to walkers and runners.
• Broken street light

  The street light at this location has had a faulty ballast for at least the last 4 month causing it to turn on and off consistantly. It has now copmpletely shut down and is not operational.I suggest you review the contract of the company that is responsible for maintaining street lights and get them, or a new contractor to fix the problem.
• Faulty Lighting

  The street lights in Ngaio Place, Nukuhau and the surrounding area are off at night and sometimes on during daylight hours
• "Rest" Areas needs attention

  Is this NZTA, DOC or TDC but in any case, the lookout/rest area that many visitors flock to is in disgusting condition, grafitti all over the pavement, rubbish, fouling, etc etc. Same for the one half way up the Waihi Hill. With a month before we see an influx of RWC visitors with a few wanting to view our pristine lake, they will be in for a rude shock. If this is not TDC, could you please pass it along to who's responsible to get the best two spots to view the lake from the southern end cleaned up. Thanks.
• Graffiti on reserve fence
• Vehicle needs removeing

  There has been a silver Toyota (unregisterd & unwarranted) parked for sale on the road for well over 7months now and with no attemt to move it is becomming a real annoyance, It is also parked over a manhole.
• Graffiti on Lions Walk

  I was enjoying my walk along the Lions Walk in the weekend, but saw some distasteful graffiti (offensive language) spraypainted on the cobblestones and BBQ area near the lake-end of Mapou Rd. If that could be cleaned that would be fantastic =).
• Steet lights not working

  Several street lights are missing along SH30 near and on the Whakamaru Dam, and along Pokuru Road North towards Whakamaru School. There are several older lamp posts along the private property along Pokuru Road North that need to be fixed for our safety.
• No Curb letdowns for prams and wheelchairs.

  Wheelchair, pram and moblity scooter access via the footpath network to the Taupo boat harbour area, the hidden jewel in Taupo's Tourist Crown, is almost non existant. There are no pedestrian let downs in the curbs on the northern side of Ferry road at all. The cub letdown from the Story Place walkway onto the South end of Redoubt Street by the Boat Harbour Public Toilets is dangerously steep and virtualy unusable for the faint hearted. It can also be blocked by parked cars. Once in the Boat Harbour area there is no wheelchair, mobility scooter, pram access onto the 'Coffee Cart' Island to buy and enjoy a coffee. There is also no way anyone who is wheelchair bound can safely get onto any of the commercial launches for hire. People with physical disabilties do tour and spend money just like any other tourist in our town.
• Deep hole

  There is a metre deep hole in the footpath/driveway outside 18 Tawa Street - it looks like a pole has been pulled out. Could cause someone a serious injury if they stepped in it.

• RUSTIFICATION!!

  THOSE RUSTY BINS ON OUR STREETS IN TAUPO {TAKING UP PARKING SPACE FOR ONE] WITH TREES IN, ARE A JOKE. I DONT DISSAGREE WITH THE CONCEPT.BUT LOW CARBON STEEL, PLUS WATER EQUAL RUST. WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU THINKING OF? WHY NOT TWO POT APOXY PAINT OR GALV. I THINK WE MUST BE THE LAUGHING STOCK OF ALL NZs SMALL TOWNS,PLEASE FIX OUR STREETS
• Large planter boxes and seating

  This may or maynot be the correct place to air this issue, but here goes. The rusty tree planters and temperary decking on corner on Heu Heu and Ruapehu street is an obstruction to free movement and parking of residents attempting to access shops. Can these please be removed from the car parking spaces, and if absolutely necessary to have, then placed onto park or reserve land near the chosen cafe's. They are simply an eye sore in our town.
• Tagging on barrier at Boat Ramp, Mapou Road
• Tag on park bench
• Cobbles lifting outside merino downunder on Tongariro St
• Blocked and broken storm water drain.

  The storm water drain that takes water from Mahuta Rd into the lake is blocked and broken at the lake outlet and it is blocked at the Mahuta Rd end. The entrance to the drain is close to our drive way at 118 Mahuta Rd and every time there is more than 10mm of rain, our section floods. I have noticed the drain further up Mahuta Rd has been fixed, and we would really appreciate it if you could fix this one as well. Thank you.
• Various lights out

  Lake Front Reserve Lights failed to light last night. Also lights on Rangatira Drive St end were unlit during the week. This is a great system for reporting issues. Many thanks for providing it.

  The Grace Crescent street sign on the lamp post outside #134 has been bent. Either the strong easterlies recently or someone has swung off it. Not urgent or severe, just an eye sore degrading the locality.

• Street light repair - not urgent - next time in the area please

  Hi, We own the section at 868 Acacia Bay Road and are in the process of planning to build a house. The street light immediately outside the property is leaning and it would be good if it could be straigtened up (it is not about to fall over, hence not urgent - only a slight lean). Is it also possible to use some form of reflector to focus the light itself on the road as it also shines very brightly on what will be our front deck / lounge area (is there something that can block the back of the bulb?) Also, noticed there is not much lighting on Acacia Bay road where it runs in front of Wily terrace - are there any plans for this so people do not have to use high beams (and perhaps as they are starting to redo the retaining on Wily Tce). Thanks very much.

• blackberry overgrowth

  some empty sections on the right hand side of Peehi Manini rd have overgrown blackberry, they are encroching onto the road now and we are down to one lane only at that point, its bad enough that we the locals have to negotiate all the potholes and do any fixing of the road ourselves while these same land owners do nothing in the upkeep. I dont know who owns these sections but you must have a record.Can you please get them to cut back the bush on the road, or clean up the road for us then bill them. Please.
