Central News will keep the Waikato and Bay of Plenty public up to date with what is going on around our region, highlighting current news, weather and sport, plus covering local issues and events impacting our communities.

The Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions are home for people from all walks of life and of many interests and accomplishments. The Waikato not only hosts prolific annual events such as the Hamilton 400 V8 Supercars and the New Zealand National Agricultural Fieldays, but the region is also well known for its world class dairy farming, horticulture and horse studs. The Bay of Plenty is home to Tauranga, one of New Zealand’s fastest growing centres. It hosts New Zealand’s largest Jazz festival and has kilometers of beautiful open coastline.

Central News is about you and your community.
