Response
From Rotorua Lakes Council DCE Community Wellbeing:
The Rotorua Lakes Council is keeping a close watch on the geothermal activity in the Meade Street area. A resident mentioned that there's been more rumbling, so we're regularly checking the heat and gas emissions near the site to be safe. As an added precaution, we've made adjustments to the fencing around the site and reminded everyone to avoid that area.
Note re evacuation notices: The Council hasn't issued any evacuation notices.
