Mayor of Rotorua
The Mayor of Rotorua officiates over the Rotorua Lakes district of New Zealand, which is administered by the Rotorua Lakes Council (RLC), whose seat is in Rotorua. An elected borough council first came together in February 1923; prior to that, the area had effectively been under government control.[1] Rotorua has had 14 mayors so far, and the current mayor is Steve Chadwick.[2][3]
