The partnership firmly established now with the Inner City Focus Group, Rotorua District Council, Chamber of Commerce, iwi and Rotorua Energy Charitable Trust is the foundation stone for the future of our city. Thank you all. Saturday, 23rd November 2013, is SCRUB ROTORUA DAY. It is envisaged that this day will see landlords and business people take responsibility for putting their own premises in good order - clean buildings, repaint where necessary, freshen signage, remove cobwebs, clean off grime. Rotorua District Council will support our initiative by replanting inner city gardens adding vibrancy and vitality.
