Topic: Possible closure of Rainbow Springs
Enquiry
Reporter requested comment from the Mayor regarding a possible permanent closure of Rainbow Springs Nature Park.
Response
From Rotorua Mayor, Steve Chadwick:
Rainbow Springs has been an enormous asset to our city so I am saddened at this proposal, but understand how challenging it is to operate in the current environment. I understand the kiwi conservation work and the hatchery will remain operating as it currently is, which is a relief.
