A large earthquake has struck off the east coast of the North Island.

The magnitude-6.5 jolt hit at 11.33am at a depth of 31km and about 155km east of Te Araroa.

There have been no reports of damage, but workers in Rotorua were evacuated as a precaution. A Te Waiariki Purea Trust staff member said its building in the Haupapa St was cleared.

The Ministry of Civil Defence said there was no tsunami threat to New Zealand.
