Rotorua Model Inspires New Plymouth: September 2015

In September 2015, the Taranaki Daily News very favourably referenced Rotorua's inner city revitalisation strategy as an example of where they should be heading.

The job is not finished, but it's gratifying to see that other cities are noticing our progress.

New Plymouth CBD under the spotlight.

 

Newsmaker Article: September 2014

The Rotorua Daily Post was kind enough to include me in their series about local newsmakers.

Seems like just yesterday I was contributing regularly to this blog.  Not surprisingly, it was almost three years ago. 

With elections looming again, it feels like time to resurrect things and commit to posting here from time to time.

With Facebook I'll post short, lighter items, but here I hope to go into a little more depth about significant local issues and news I think need to be highlighted.  As the election approaches, I'll post copies of statements and comments that I prepare for various publications and purposes.

In the meantime, I'll be posting a few catchup items from the media  over the last year or so.  I hope these will give some idea of the work I've been doing for Rotorua, my level of commitment and the issues I hold dear.

Thanks for checking in; I hope you find some items of interest here.
