Missing Mangakino man found with help of police helicopter

Searches were initially made of places he was known to visit and when that was unsuccessful, search and rescue teams were deployed just after 5pm on Saturday. Four teams from Taupō and Tūrangi searched 2 kilometres south of Mangakino on the Waikato River Trail, police search and rescue co-ordinator Senior Constable Barry Shepherd said. “It was getting dark, and he’d been gone a day, so we were pretty keen to find him as soon as possible,” he said. “He was last seen on that river trail, so we combed that area hoping for the best.” At roughly 10pm, the Eagle helicopter joined the search hoping to find the man byusing its infrared camera.

Clear waters ahead for the next step in the Te Aroha Spa development

A new destination spa could sit within the Te Aroha Domain, after a council decision to develop the $18.9m complex as part of its long-term plan. After two days of public submissions and passionate deliberations, Matamata-Piako District councillors agreed with the 34 per cent of submitters who wanted to move ahead with the biggest proposal in its 2021-31 long-term plan. While the majority of submitters (41 per cent) preferred to only spend $5.3m on the complex, and 25 per cent didn’t want it to go ahead at all, councillors agreed that if it was to be done, it needed to be done properly.
