Omarama

Omarama Airfield Ltd is having a good financial year so far, but its former chairman Hugh Cameron has warned extra maintenance still to be done could affect the final result.

Omarama residents will be able to hear more news and music from the outside world when a repaired radio transmitter is switched on later this month.

Glider pilots across New Zealand are to be warned of the dangers of dehydration in hot conditions, following the findings of a coronial inquiry into the death of a Hororata pilot who crashed near Omarama.

After four years of hard work, Omarama residents can now see physical progress on the project to turn their memorial hall into a community centre.
