Towncentre Taupō represents the interests of every business in Taupō's central business district. All such businesses, as defined by Taupō District Council, are, by default, members of TCT. Our primary aim is to promote the development of Taupō's town centre as a safe and vibrant community balancing social, environmental and economic needs while retaining its unique identity.

Towncentre Taupō (TCT) became an incorporated society in 2005.  It is funded by a special annual rate or a levy which is paid by members through rates to Taupō District Council.  This rate is returned to TCT to cover expenses, business development and promotion initiatives within the town centre.
