The Rotorua Lakes Council is set to approve a contract for the building of its controversial Library and Children's Health Hub and will also decide on how the council will be run after October's elections, before a new council is sworn in.
Those two items and further decisions regarding the transfer of Tamatea St to Te Tahuna Trust and a land exchange for the Pererika St Reserve will be discussed at the final meeting of the council's Strategy, Policy and Finance Committee being held tomorrow from 9.30am in the council chamber.
Councillors will have a long day ahead of them when they reconvene from 2.30pm to discuss the one submission received and any changes required during a review of the district's Solid Waste Bylaw.
According to an agenda report, the Library and Children's Health Hub project is making good progress after six contractors registered interest in taking on the job that has a total budget of $12.8 million.
The project is a collaboration between the council and the Lakes District Health Board, that has committed almost $4 million toward its development.
