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.

He is now 90 years old and enjoys sharing his homegrown produce with his neighbours. But deputy mayor Neil Goodger wasn’t happy with the sudden price hike during a recent meeting when the decision was made. “I thought we had made a decision to increase them slowly every year, we should have done that,” he said. “We wouldn’t be in the position we are in now.
