Scrapped Rotorua Reserves to Housing Proposal an 'Unfortunate Chapter' - Councillor
Stuff - Bay of Plenty: 11-Nov-2022
A decision to revoke the reserve status of seven Rotorua reserve sites for development has been scrapped by a unanimous vote.
The proposal has so far cost ratepayers just over $82,000.
The reversal was brought about by a notice of motion from new Rotorua mayor Tania Tapsell and discussed in the council's first substantive meeting - following its inauguration - on Thursday.
It follows months of torrid debate over the proposal after it was revealed by Local Democracy Reporting in April.
