  • Formation of the Sport of Athletics in Rotorua
    Lake City Athletic Club Inc A History by Pam Kenny Three clubs joined together in April 1991, to form the current Lake City Athletic Club Inc. A short history of the earlier clubs is shown first. Rotorua Amateur Athletic & Cycling Club / Rotorua Athletic Club 1931-1991 On the 13 November 1931 a meeting was convened at Brent’s Bathgate House to establish an athletic and cycling club in Rotorua. Thirty people were in attendance and the Rotorua Amateur Athletic and Cycling Club was formed, with the club achieving incorporated society status in 1938. Blue and gold were the club colours - blue singlet/blouse and shorts with gold “R” on the top. Weekly competitions were held at the Rotorua Boys High on a Friday evening, with the customary track and field events for the runners, with cyclists contesting both track and road races. Val Robinson winning an early ladies’ athletics meeting in the late 1940's The club went into recess during the Second World War, with activities resuming October 1944. Venues utilized between 1944 and 1960 were Harriers in the late 1940's - L to R; John Wild, Alex Kuirau Park, the old A&P Showgrounds near Uta Millar, Keith French, Harry Findon Street, Arawa Park, Pererika Street, and again Kuirau Park. 1961 saw the Club at Smallbone Park, its home until the 1983/84 season, when a move was made to the new International Stadium, though the inadequacy of the track led to a return to Smallbone Park for a season. 1986 it was back to the Stadium until sand carpeting of the ground prevented permanent lane markings and children being able to run barefooted.

Any use or reliance by any person contrary to the above, to which Beca has not given its prior written consent, is at that person's own risk. Rotorua Bus Network Review Executive Summary Beca Limited was commissioned by the Bay of Plenty Regional Council to review options to improve the efficiency of the bus network in Rotorua’s urban area. This review will to inform new contracts for bus service due to be procured in 2015. The review process included discussions with a number of key stakeholders, notably Rotorua District Council and the current bus operator. The Rotorua urban bus network has seen increasing patronage in the last decade, despite many of the current bus routes in Rotorua providing a relatively slow service compared to a trip by car. The Bay of Plenty Regional Public Transport Plan 2013 sets out policies to provide frequent, reliable, convenient and efficient urban services. The main strengths of Rotorua’s bus network are its good basic route structure, standardised service frequencies, the efficiency of bus utilisation and the simple fare system. A new fleet has recently been introduced which provides more capacity, and will make boarding and alighting easier.

  • Rotorua Cityride 2019/2020 Consultation Summary
    Rotorua CityRide 2019/2020 Consultation Summary 1 Introduction Over the last couple of years, we’ve gathered feedback from our bus users, residents and stakeholder groups all around Rotorua. We’ve added the key elements from this feedback to evidence from other sources. Together, these are the building blocks for the options we’re currently consulting on. 2 2019 Resident and User Feedback We received feedback in 2019 using the Social PinPoint online mapping application, text messages and phone calls. This has helped identify areas where the current network is not meeting expectations and has been used to inform the development of the options currently being consulted on. A full list of the feedback received is included at the end of this document. Category Comments Adjusted Routes 14 New Routes 12 New/moved stops 12 Better Reliability 10 Later hours 10 Additional Shelter 8 Better Information 5 PAGE 2 3 Stakeholder Workshop Summary We asked about public transport priorities for different organisations and community groups at a stakeholder workshop in 2020. Attendees represented BOPRC, Rotorua Lakes Council and community boards, bus operators, secondary schools and tertiary institutions, disability organisations, and the tourism sector. The key findings messages from this workshop were: • Strong support for growing patronage in Rotorua and improving the perception of public transport and improving reliability are key to this. • Public transport is important or essential for a range of different people including tourists, students, the elderly, people with disabilities and for lower socio-economic households. • Young people are key to developing a longer-term culture of bus use and should be targeted with a range of measures: fares, marketing, and services that connect them to the destinations they need to reach.

  • Submission on Proposed Plan Change 10 to the Bay of Plenty Regional Water and Land Plan
    021 SUBMISSION ON PROPOSED PLAN CHANGE 10 TO THE BAY OF PLENTY REGIONAL WATER AND LAND PLAN E-mailed to [email protected] 27 April 2016 To the Bay of Plenty Regional Council: Please find attached our tabulated submission on the proposed plan change 10 to the Bay of Plenty Regional Water and Land Plan. While recognising the absolute imperative for a reduction in nutrient discharge into Lake Rotorua, we feel that the proposed blanket control on commercial horticulture and commercial cropping of any size is unnecessarily restrictive. There is a real need within the Rotorua community for more local, high quality food production, particularly of healthy foods such as organically grown fruits and vegetables. Rotorua District is one of the least food secure in the Bay of Plenty. During 2015 the Rotorua Lakes Council (RLC) carried out a “City Scan” research exercise as part becoming a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact - Cities Programme, which is a worldwide initiative aimed at creating sustainable societies. Quoting from a draft RLC City Scan report (2015) supplied by Rosemary Viskovic (not yet published): “The lack of food sovereignty or food security is an important issue facing Rotorua. Food sovereignty is the right of peoples to healthy and culturally appropriate food produced through ecologically sound and sustainable methods, and their right to define their own food and agriculture systems.” This draft report goes on to recognise that Rotorua people have a higher than average exposure to unhealthy food and that we have high obesity and diabetes rates. It refers to “The Issues of Health and Wellbeing 2012 Population Survey” which found that within the Rotorua District 29.2 per cent of the population went without fruit and vegetables to help keep costs down (i.e.
