Pokeno may be the next big city
13 February 2021
The Waikato town is quickly changing from the small village it was just a few years ago, thanks to new developments.
Its close proximity to Auckland...the Southern Motorway...and its cheaper housing, is also drawing people in.
A bus service connecting the town with Auckland's public transport network has recently been launched.
Waikato District Mayor Allan Sanson says with the addition of a new local supermarket, the area is continuing to boom.
He says the speed at which it's grown has been astronomical, and further expansion is expected in the future.
