Drop-in sessions: Rotorua Geothermal System

Bay of Plenty Regional Council

Toi Moana Bay of Plenty Regional Council has developed a draft System Management Plan (SMP) that informs how we manage the Rotorua Geothermal System.

If you have an interest in the Rotorua Geothermal System [the system beneath Rotorua city] we want to hear your thoughts: What do you like about the SMP? What could be improved? What values and principles are important to you?

Come to one of our three public drop-in sessions to discuss the future of geothermal in the city:

· Tuesday 17 October, 10am – 2pm, Mokoia Community Association Hall

· Thursday 19 October, 2pm – 6pm, Arawa Bowling Club

You can ‘drop-in’ anytime during the times above on these specific days. At these sessions, we will have copies of the SMP, and our team will be on hand to discuss what it means and how it may impact you. If you can’t attend any of these days and times, you can still have your say via our website
