Future of Te Kūiti Holiday Park to be decided

21 May 2025, 12:39 PM

   

 

The future of the Te Kūiti Holiday Park on Te Kumi Road will be discussed at the monthly Council meeting next week, and we are interested in your feedback.

Development of the facility was undertaken in 2018 after securing a grant of $200,000 from Central Government. However, over the years usage has been low with revenue of around $13,000 a year.

The facility costs about $45,000 a year to maintain and operate, which means ratepayers contribute about $30,000 towards the cost.

Few visitors take their vehicles into the park, with most choosing to park in free parking areas, including by the Shearing Statue and across from The Warehouse.

Council is looking to close down the Te Kūiti Holiday Park, but keep the waste dump station operating.

There is potential to relocate the bathroom and kitchen facilities to the Marokopa Holiday Park to replace aging facilities there.

This will be a topic of conversation at the Council meeting on Tuesday 27 May and we are seeking your feedback.
