The Rotorua District Council is progressively installing new public seating throughout the inner city with "Jake Seats" designed by young Rotorua man Jake Krebs.
The first prototype Jake Seat was installed on the corner of Tutanekai and Eruera Sts following a recent upgrade of the intersection.
Two more Jake Seats are being installed in the next few days, one at the City Focus and one on the corner of Tutanekai and Pukuatua Sts.
Thanks to generous donations by local businesses, four more seats are under construction, two donated by the Holmes Group, one by TPB Properties and one by social website Neighbourly.
Two of those new seats will be installed in Eat Streat and the other two on other Tutanekai-Pukuatua street corners, bringing the number of Jake Seats in the city to seven.
