Please note that there will be disruption to Ranolf Street from 1st September 2025 through to mid 2026

Heads up, Rotorua.
We are upgrading the watermain along Ranolf Street, from Malfroy Road to Arawa Street. The current pipe has reached the end of its life, and this upgrade will improve the reliability of our water network.

🗓️ Full project timeline:
Work starts 1 September 2025 and is expected to finish by mid-2026 (weather permitting)

What to expect during the first week of work (1–6 September):
⛔ Partial roundabout closure at Malfroy Rd & Ranolf St (9am–2:30pm daily)
⛔ Northbound lane closed on Ranolf St (Malfroy Rd to Pretoria St) – 24/7 for one week
✅ Southbound traffic and pedestrian access will stay open
🚗 Driveway access will be maintained, but short delays may occur
🔀 Detours will be in place and signposted

This is a key investment in Rotorua’s infrastructure. Thanks for your patience while we carry out these essential works.

💜 HE KŌRERO MŌ TE KAUPAPA 💜

“Have conversations with your whānau and friends about each other’s health and keep those conversations up.
Respect your role as a kaihaka. Respect kapa haka; the art form that creates discipline, teamwork, commitment and that entices passion, energy, and power — because you never know when your last stand will be.”
– Talei Morrison ✨

E te whānau, our giveaways and games over the last few days have been building towards this kaupapa, a kaupapa born from Talei’s vision and carried on by her whānau.

We are very aware that the wait times for routine appointments at Ranolf are currently much longer than they used to be and we’re working really hard to improve this.

We are looking to trial a number of initiatives to improve access for our patients. These include improved telehealth access, slightly different same day care systems and a strong emphasis on working in teams so that patients get to know specific nursing providers as well as doctors.

It is likely you will notice some changes in the coming months - we welcome your feedback if you have an experience that is positive or otherwise as this feedback helps us shape the way we do things on an ongoing basis.
