Waitomo District Council will support further improvements for the Tainui Historical Society Museum following on from the internal revamp project completed in February this year.

The exterior gardens were identified as an area that requires work.

Council’s Team Leader Community Services Tim Marriott recently met with Museum volunteers to discuss how best to renew the gardens at the front of the Museum.

Landscaping work is planned to tidy the overgrown grassed areas at the sides and rear of the Museum so that these areas can be used for displaying some of the Museum’s larger, outdoor exhibits.

Work will also be carried out on the carpark and disability access improved.

Council’s aim is to assist the Mokau community by helping to improve the access and street appeal of the Museum.

The work is currently underway and is expected to be completed by the end of May.
