An architecturally stunning blend of original Stripped Classical and Spanish Mission design combined with contemporary cultural elements, the Sir Howard Morrison Centre is a leading regional performance centre, uniquely of its place in Rotorua. When it reopens the centre will offer a 950+ seat theatre, a 300-seat flexible black box theatre, a banquet room, large light-filled foyer, recording studi

os and more. Located in the midst of Rotorua’s downtown business and retail — major hotels, shops, bars, restaurants and the beautiful Rotorua Lakefront are but a leisurely stroll away. Any post - positive or negative - made by any individual specifically relating to their own - or someone else's - nomination, intention to run for Council or election campaign, will be removed immediately.
