We’re upgrading wastewater pipeline under Spur Avenue and a portion of Links Avenue in late 2026. 

The purpose of Proposed Private Plan Change 40 is to rezone land at 11 Fairway Avenue, Mount Maunganui, from Passive Open Space Zone to Medium Density Residential Zone.

Mount Maunganui Library is getting a much-needed upgrade.

Hopukiore (Mount Drury) play area is ready for a refresh, and we need your help make it even more awesome!

We’re relocating the toilet facilities at Te Papa o Ngā Manu Porotakataka in Mount Maunganui and creating a new area for people to enjoy. 

We’re progressing the project to address long‑standing congestion, safety, and access issues along Hewletts Road, Tōtara Street, and Maunganui Road. 

We’re looking for solutions that make parking accessible, fair, and practical for today and the future.

We’re adding fences to four neighbourhood reserves across the city’s network to create more inclusive play spaces for children and families with diverse needs. 

As a growing city, we’re dedicated to improving the capacity and quality of the city-wide network for sports and recreation to benefit community wellbeing. 

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

We reviewed three key sporting facilities Baypark, Blake Park, and Tauranga and Wharepai Domain to improve accessibility and better meet community needs.
