Welcome!

As a council we are successfully lifting our city's reputation. We must continue to invest in city improvements, while sensibly monitoring our debt levels. Our portfolio structure allows us to communicate and listen to your views.

As your representative I am committed to all of these and passionate about cleaner lakes and inner city revitalisation. This includes safer cycling, city art and public-private partnerships with iwi investment.

Inaugural Rotorua Night Market



Thursday 4th March. What a fabulous night to kick off the Rotorua Night Market!

A block of Tutanekai street was cordoned off between Pukuatua and Haupapa Streets, rows of stalls had been assembled along with a performance area and suspended lighting was in place for when the natural light eventually needed reinforcement.


Everything looked great, smelled great and there were so many people!  It was wonderful to see so many families out enjoying themselves.  There were stalls featuring locally made art, including items from Ron at De Flute glass, paintings by Kristian Lomath, handmade necklaces and some beautiful contemporary Maori jewellery made from resin and bone.  

There was plenty of locally grown and prepared produce as well as a number of stalls selling tasty snacks for hungry children or adults wanting to refuel while they browsed.

From art to baby clothes, mussels to pasties, the Night Market had something for everyone and the ice carving had to be seen to be believed.  It was also a great opportunity to catch up with friends.  The city really hummed.

Don't miss the next Rotorua Night Market on Thursday 11th March!
