A new police station was located in central Rotorua to accommodate Rotorua staff and act as the Bay of Plenty district headquarters. The station design required a multitude of varying spaces ranging from open plan office space, meeting rooms, kitchens, toilets, armoured vaults, labs, interrogation rooms etc. All plant equipment and general fittings have been designed to withstand the corrosive effects of the high sulpher levels in Rotorua.
