Takiwā o Arataki

Arataki neighbourhood

Arataki is home to over 17,000 people and includes Arataki, Te Maunga, Mangatawa, Palm Beach and Kairua.

It forms part of the coastal strip and sits between the Mauao/Mount Maunganui and Pāpāmoa wards.

We’re investing in the future of Arataki, focusing on improving roads, enhancing public spaces, and creating safer, more connected neighbourhoods.

In the future, key projects like the Arataki Bus Hub upgrade and improvements to local reserves will offer better transport links and improved recreational facilities. These developments are vital as Arataki continues to serve as a key access route for both commuters and the broader community and provides convenient access to nearby recreational facilities, including Baywave and Baypark.
