About
A Society to defend Rotorua citizens' rights to democratic local government and to promote fiscal responsibility and legal procedure in local government.

Story
The Rotorua Ratepayers & Residents Inc (RDRR) was launched on 25th September 2015, replacing it’s predecessor, the Rotorua Pro-Democracy Society, with a wider mandate. It has grown quickly to over 400 members.

The RDRR offered a new council team at the 8 Oct 2016 elections to restore democracy, the rule of law, financial responsibility & policy making power to elected representatives. It endorsed a mayoral candidate, Dr Reynold Macpherson, and six Councillor candidates for the local authority elections starting 8 October 2016. The six were Peter Bentley, Julie Calnan, John Dyer, Raj Kumar, Rosemary MacKenzie and John Visser. Peter Bentley and Raj Kumar were elected, and all others endorsed came within 1000 votes of being elected.

All but one of the Mayor's power bloc suffered 22-30% swings against them, with over 42,000 votes switching to the RDRR candidates. The Mayor came with 7% of losing the mayoralty. In January 2017, RDRR members decided to maintain their campaign through to the 2019 elections.

Mission
To elect a new Council team in 2019.
