  • Rotorua 1 Princes Arch Gateway Architecture Seems to Be a Big City Activity
    ITINERARY n.33 NOT ON MAP 9 10 11 13 15 2 4 1 5 6 7 8 3 14 12 The Blue Baths, 1933 1901 City Guide: Rotorua 1 Princes Arch Gateway Architecture seems to be a big city activity. It is, of course, possible to think of exceptions - Mario Arawa Street Botta in the mountain resort town of Lugano, Peter Zumthor beavering away in the tiny Swiss village of Haldenstein, or more close at hand, John Scott seeming to pluck inspired designs from the coastal air of Haumoana – but almost every significant architect is associated with a particular metropolis, and much of what we assume is important about architectural culture seems to rely on metropolitan densities of wealth and sophistication. Even here in decidedly un-metropolitan New Zealand, the big cities seem to predominate. A scan of the list of NZIA National Awards reveals the dominance of Christchurch, Wellington, and (particularly) Auckland; places like Gisborne, Russell, or Levin rarely make the list. It is hard to know whether this is because of a lack of architectural ambition among small town architects, or because their important opportunities are usually snaffled by big city design firms; Aucklanders often complain about Aussies jetting in to snatch plum commissions, but seem not to hesitate at getting on a plane to Queenstown or Paraparaumu to pick up projects. Rotorua is one of the many provincial cities in New Zealand where civic architecture has largely been created by those that don’t live there. In Rotorua, this was exaggerated by the peculiar role outside authorities, particularly the central government, have played in its development – it was unique in the Commonwealth in being a government-controlled town.

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.
