Issue 4: Feb 14 - Rotorua District Council

Kia ora
Welcome to the fourth edition of Heart of the City NEWS.
Wow, here we are in the second month of 2014 already. This year is going
to be a very busy one and it will be all shoulders to the wheel. There is
a great feeling of optimism out there. Most people I have spoken to say
they have experienced the busiest holiday time for a number of years –
restaurants running out of food, accommodation booked out with lots of
events, good weather, and the inner city very busy.
Our next meeting of the Inner City Focus Group is mid-February to start
planning our strategies going forward.
Inner City Ideas Bank – must have & must do
Since November the partnership between the Inner City Focus Group and
Council has resulted in stakeholders stepping up to revitalise the heart of the
city. The Government Gardens Sculpture Trails, Scrub Rotorua Day, Living
Arts Trail, Park Rotorua, Pop-up Gallery and Eat Streat are recent successful
initiatives.
