City Centre projects

We're making it safer and easier for people to move around our city no matter how they choose to travel – including by bus.

Our city is growing fast. The Fifteenth Avenue, Turret Road and Welcome Bay Road route links many communities and is going to become increasingly important as our city grows.

A sustainable development will house all Council city centre-based administration staff under one roof.

Providing safe and secure bike parking is one of the ways we can encourage more people to cycle in the city.

We reviewed our three key sporting facilities, Baypark, Blake Park and Tauranga and Wharepai Domain to see how they met the needs of particular groups, and how we could make them better and more accessible for everyone in the community.

Wider footpaths, greener spaces and one-way streets are among improvements being piloted to make the city centre nicer and help people move around more easily.

A new city centre laneway will connect Grey Street and Durham Street.

Tauranga City Council is looking at the future use of the Crown-owned Tauranga Racecourse Reserve in Greerton.

Exciting plans are underway to redevelop the civic precinct in the heart of our city.

As part of our exciting plans to get the heart of our city pumping, we’re building a new library and community hub in the city centre on Willow Street.

The Tauranga Museum will be a key component of Te Manawataki o Te Papa, the transformed city centre in the heart of Tauranga.

We’re starting to think about how we use and make the most of Memorial Park in the future, alongside the planned upgrade of the aquatic and recreation hub facilities situated at the park.
