We have had to take a step back, manage better, employ key staff, and have the funds available to do this. Any of our improvements have been self funded from real profit.

A great extension for summer, but soon realised to take full advantage of the extra seating, it would need to be covered and heated.<\/p><p id=\"u687-26\">As funds became available after the 2009 ski season, we covered the deck, put in a big screen TV and sound system installed gas heaters.<\/p><p>During this time we battled with council to get the additional area licensed. Ruapehu mayor Sue Morris helped us with this dilemma &#8211; council wanted $30,000 in lieu of car parks.<\/p><p>We ended up on her recommendation, filing our grievance with the environment court for $55 and council dropped their objections and restrictions, but only after several months of council meetings, transit reports, and frustration. Councils must be more pro-active if we are to reinvest in our businesses, generate growth, employment, and provide services to international standards.<\/p><p>We are happy to report, car parking costs for businesses have relaxed in the past few years.<\/p><p id=\"u687-37\">By increasing our seating capacity all year round by 30, we have had to increase the level of service and staffing levels during an amazing growth period.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14facb7 elementor-position-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"14facb7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themountainrocks.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/mountain-rocks-images_0010_snow-outside.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-57\" alt=\"The Mountain Rocks Ohakune\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themountainrocks.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/mountain-rocks-images_0010_snow-outside.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.themountainrocks.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/mountain-rocks-images_0010_snow-outside-300x94.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.themountainrocks.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/mountain-rocks-images_0010_snow-outside-768x240.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Popularity All age groups love coming to \u2018The Rocks\u2019.
