Rotorua mayor Tania Tapsell has recently announced that she plans on reversing the previous plan to sell 10 reserve sites off for housing development.
The Rotorua council will meet to discuss this further on Thursday, where the proposal will be discussed further.
In the leadup to this meeting, Tania Tapsell explained that the aforementioned decision wasn't made with the people of Rotorua in mind and isn't relevant to their concerns anymore.
"This was one of those really bad decisions in politics where the politicians didn't listen to the people. The proposal was originally developed because of the housing shortage we have, but we received over 600 submissions of which the vast majority were against selling reserves."

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
