Rotorua

Rotorua’s Wai Ariki Hot Springs & Spa is providing a unique avenue for tāne to prioritize self-care and healing.

Police estimated around 10,000 people attended in the wet weather.

The homeless accommodation was due to end next month but the government wants to stagger withdrawal of contracted emergency housing over another year.

The fence at the worksite of a controversial sewerage scheme was taken down on Friday while Rotorua’s council awaits a court decision to continue.

It includes rolling out new cameras to catch and deter crims.

Rotorua’s mayor says she is “extremely concerned” the district’s roading needs are going unfunded in favour of larger cities.

Health minister Dr Shane Reti opened unit on Tuesday.

The opening of the redeveloped unit was delayed after work paused in February for costs to be reviewed.

The game will include famous tourist attractions with the Agrodome and Skyline Rotorua, Rotorua Rafting, and Whakarewarewa Forest.

As the government strips back a council power, one mayor worries about the impact.
