The Rotorua District Council has received seven submissions relating to a proposal for a new block to be built at the Redwood Centre that would accommodate Rabobank as well as office space for a finance or insurance agency.
Council resource consents team leader Portia McKenzie said four of the submissions opposed the development while one supported it, one had provided conditional support while the other took a neutral stance.
Issues raised by opponents related to traffic, the impact on the Central Business District and one said they were happy with a restaurant going there, but not an office.
Developer Tony Bradley last month applied for resource consent to build a new block that would accommodate Rabobank as well as office space for a finance or insurance agency.
According to the application for resource consent, Rabobank and the other tenant would accommodate a floor space of 440sq m.
