Work on the third and final stage of the City Focus redevelopment is due to start on Monday.
The project was approved following feedback from inner city stakeholders and the community with the majority of people seeking change, according to a Rotorua Lakes Council media release.

Based on key themes from feedback received, the design was aimed at improving vehicular movement through the intersection, clearing sight lines in all directions, and ensuring a focus on people, enabling better use of the space.
The project comes under council's district development portfolio, led by councillor Karen Hunt, who said she was excited completion of the project was now near.
