These guidelines cover all pages managed by Taranaki Regional Council, across all social media platforms. We encourage conversation and participation in our online communities and welcome a diverse range of views. It is important to us that our community is safe

and respectful and that conversations are constructive. If you post a comment or reply or send a message that breaks these rules, it may be hidden or removed. We may also choose to block you. Be respectful: We will not tolerate comments we consider offensive, sexist, racist, profane, defamatory, threatening or which are otherwise inappropriate or harmful – whether towards us, our staff, our partners or other groups or individuals. Keep it relevant: Stay on topic with what the conversation is about. You can always contact us directly if you have queries or concerns about an unrelated topic. Stick to the facts: Much of our work involves scientific fact and information. Our community relies on our online space to be a place of truth and fact so we require comments to be the same. Differences of opinion are OK, sharing misinformation is not. Protect privacy: Please do not share any personal or sensitive information about yourself or others. No spam: Please no unsolicited ads or repeat comments, messages or posts. See a te reo Māōri word and want to know the meaning in English?

Tūpare Throwback Thursday!

Here’s a shot of Tūpare under construction in 1932. At the front of the building, you can see a section of unfinished reinforced concrete wall, a plaster finish was later applied to these walls. The roof is already covered in cedar tiles imported from Canada.

Last month, one of our own said “I do” at the stunning Tūpare 💚

A huge congratulations to Mr and Mrs Nairn, who tied the knot surrounded by friends, whānau and the beauty of our regional garden.

If you're dreaming of your own special day or planning a celebration or function, we’d love to help. Between Tūpare and our friends at Hollard Gardens and Pukeiti, there’s a venue to suit every style.
