8 May 2025

Consultation for the 2025/26 Annual Plan proposals is now closed. Thank you to all those who submitted responses.

Find out more about the next steps in the process and how to keep up to date.

We received 404 submissions. These will now be provided to Councillors to inform deliberations about the two topics; funding options for the Tarawera Sewerage Scheme and the future of the Rotorua Night Market.

97 people that submitted have requested to speak at the hearings on Thursday 15 and Friday 16 May 2025. These people should have already had an email confirming their hearing times (if you have not received this, please email participate@rotorualc.nz before 5pm, Monday 12 May).

If you would like to watch these hearings online, they will be live streamed on the RLC You Tube channel.

Deliberations will take place at Council meeting on 28 May, with the adoption of the Annual Plan 2025/26 on 25 June 2025.

We will continue to update you at each stage to close the loop and keep you informed of the consultation next steps and outcomes.
