Should there be fewer pokie machines in the Taupō District

Taupō District Council is seeking community feedback on proposed changes to its Class 4 Gambling and TAB Venues Policy.

The proposals include reducing the district-wide cap on gaming machines (pokies) from 164 to 149 and preventing new gambling venues from being established in Mangakino and Tūrangi.

Whether you support or oppose these changes, we want to hear your views. Your feedback will help us to help inform our final decision.
