Tamahere’s long-term future, major transport projects and local reserve developments will feature at the Tamahere Community Committee meeting on Tuesday 6 October, at 7.30pm in the Tamahere Community Centre.

RAPID stands for Rural Address Property Identification. It’s the numbering system used for rural properties. Your RAPID number helps emergency services locate your entrance: it gives an approximate distance along the road from its starting point. Number 82, for example, means an entrance roughly 820 metres along the road.

Tamahere has a significant new cultural asset that residents may not yet know is available to them. The Tamahere Arts Centre, completed last year within the Sanderson Group’s Tamahere retirement village, is not simply a creative space for village residents. Its gallery also provides an opportunity to share work with and welcome the wider community, adding a new public arts dimension to Tamahere.

Tamahere residents will have another opportunity to question the team behind the proposed Waikato Racing Hub when Waikato Thoroughbred Racing holds it's own designated Open Day at the Tamahere Community Centre on Sunday 23 August, from 2pm–5pm.

The Tamahere Community Committee's recent Open Day has confirmed one thing: residents care deeply about the future of their community. Held as part of the Vision Tamahere 2075 initiative, the event attracted a steady stream of residents who took the opportunity to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing Tamahere over the coming decades.
