The challenge of shaping our place and our people is one we all share and I thank all those who provided input and continue to make a contribution.
The Rotorua Way will focus on what makes Rotorua special – the district’s active environment, our strong Te Arawa culture and manaakitanga, the fantastic lifestyle we can enjoy and the diverse economic opportunities that exist here. Together, these make Rotorua a unique place in which to live, work and invest and to visit.
We also identified areas of opportunity which will help us to build on and further enhance those
strengths. We needed to identify what makes Rotorua special to provide clear direction and focus, to ensure that as our district grows we preserve and enhance what is critical to our community and to the
district’s ongoing success.
The Rotorua Way provides the direction for the next few years, guiding our long-term, annual and spatial plans and decision-making around key projects and initiatives. These future-focussed plans, key projects and initiatives are how we will deliver Vision 2030.

Mō te katoa a Rotorua…Tatau tatauVision 2030 - The Rotorua Way primary school teaching units helped create a future of active, engaged citizens.
Rotorua Lakes Council developed these resources to help schools deliver engaging activities designed to encourage students' understanding and enthusiasm for participating in their community and the consultation process.
All units were aligned with the vision, principles, values and key competencies of Levels 2 and 3 the New Zealand Curriculum and linked to the social sciences learning area.
The material was flexible for different levels. Teachers were encouraged to adapt the sequence of learning activities to meet the specific needs and experiences of their students.
