No more MIQ in Rotorua

The Government are continuing to explore the options of establishing another MIQ facility in Rotorua despite a resounding refusal from the people of Te Arawa and the Rotorua community at large. They have united in their refusal to host a new MIQ facility in Rotorua and the Government needs to listen.

  1. The Lakes DHB have made it clear that another MIQ facility in Rotorua will put too much pressure on their capacity to deliver healthcare as it will;
    • negatively impact hospital facilities and staff and;
    • it will come at a cost to Rotorua locals who will miss out on significant healthcare services that they are entitled to.

  2. Another MIQ hotel means that Rotorua will take longer to re-build their economic capacity in the tourism sector as it will;
    • reduce the number of hotels available for visitors into the region and;
    • further impact on business owners in the township.

  3. Another MIQ hotel will also increase the health and safety risks to the people of Rotorua.

Rotorua has had enough! They have done their fair share of the heavy lifting for our country and it is time that another region steps up.
