For the second year running Rotorua Lakes Council has won the judges’ choice award at the Local Government New Zealand EXCELLENCE Awards, this year for the district’s mountain bike strategy.

The aim of the strategy is to turn Rotorua into a globally recognised destination for mountain bikers and was a finalist and highly commended in the Best Practice Contribution to Local Economic Development category at last 2017 LGNZ EXCELLENCE Awards in Auckland.

The Martin Jenkins Judges’ Choice Award for Outstanding Value and Service Delivery is a special award given to a finalist for “outstanding delivery of best practice value and services to their community”.

Now in their fourth year, the LGNZ EXCELLENCE Awards recognise and celebrate the leadership role local government plays in communities.
Awards judges said Rotorua was now internationally recognised as a mountain biking destination and the spin-off from that was “real and visible”.

Often, when we bring up a mattress protector when selling a mattress, We get an immediate “no” as soon as we start talking, the customer fearing being “up sold.” Other times, the customer laughs and proclaims proudly that they don’t “pee the bed,” not realizing all of the other fluids that the human body produces.
