Mangakino
now under construction

Shopping and Community Centre now under construction at Mangakino, a new town on the Waikato River between Taupo and Putaruru to serve newly developed forest and farming areas and hydro-electric works.

The integration of the shops and community buildings and the recreation areas should ensure the maximum use of each, and a ‘live core’ to the whole town.

Designed by the Community Planning Section of the Housing Division, Ministry of Works.
