Last year's public tree left a lot to be desired.
But this year's is bound to look better thanks to local weaver Anna Hayes.
Hayes, from the newly opened Maori Weaving Rotorua, has woven 16 metres of harakeke rope and 30 muka ties, from which locally made wooden decorations will hang.
Hayes learnt the craft in Rotorua and said she was pleased to be contributing towards the tree.
The tree will be fully decked out and looking bright and festive this year and a small ceremony will be held under the tree at 7pm on Thursday, December 1 to mark the tree lights being switched on.

Brown said the iconic 100-year-old Museum would remain closed until 'at least' next Wednesday and that a further engineers report, expected this Friday, would reveal more about the state of the building.

With just a month until Christmas, we at the Rotorua Review have decided to get into the Christmas spirit by going on the hunt for the city's best Christmas tree.
Let's be honest, the city's public tree last year left little to be inspired by.
The council has promised to spruce it up this year, but we feel the best trees are probably the ones you guys all have in your own homes.
And it Doesn't have to be a traditional tree- we'd be keen for people to think outside the box.
In Hamilton they run a competition every year called Trees of the Meteor with people making trees out of all types of materials.
The 2014 winners made their tree out of badminton shuttlecocks and was an absolute stunner.
So get your creative decorating caps and send us your photos.
* To enter email a high resolution photo (1MB or more) to nicola.brennan@fairfaxmedia.co.nz by December 15.
We will run people's photos each week in the lead up to our last issue this year in the paper, on Neighbourly and Facebook.
A winner will be determined by a combination of public and Rotorua Review staff votes and will receive a $50 Prezzy card.

We're backing schools to set up walking buses and other solutions, with parents and volunteers helping local kids get to class safely.
We wrote to the nation's mayors pleading with them to lower speed limits outside schools, and many have come back to us with expressions of support. We talked to well-known New Zealanders with school-aged kids, and they united behind the campaign.
You can get involved too. We know people are busy, so the Sunday Star-Times and Neighbourly are encouraging families to choose one day a week when they and their kids walk, scoot, cycle - even ride a horse if that's what works for you!
I've chosen Mondays as the days I'll cycle to school with my 6-year-old son. And Neighbourly has set up a special pledge page, where you can choose a day when you will try to Foot It with your kids, talk with others doing the same - and go into the draw to win one of 50 Micro scooters. www.neighbourly.co.nz...
