Arataki neighbourhood

We are making Links Avenue a more welcoming and safer environment for the community.

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.

We’re proposing some enhancements to Links Avenue Reserve to support the growth of football across Tauranga, now and into the future.

We will be inspecting parts of our wastewater network across the city during February-April 2025.

Intersection changes around Maranui Street, Girven Road and Oceanbeach Road are improving travel between Pāpāmoa and the Mount and increasing safety for pedestrians. 

We’re upgrading Maranui Street, between Sunrise Avenue and Sandhurst Drive, to make it safer and easier to get around. 

The spaces available at the Mercury Baypark site in Te Maunga, Mount Maunganui, have the potential to be optimised and repurposed to cater to the city's growing population and increasing need for space to play sports and hold recreational activities and events.

We are proposing a bylaw to set our own alcohol licensing fees. This means we would have the option to change how alcohol licensing is funded in Tauranga.

The policy direction paves the way for services and assets to stay in councils' ownership and control, while operating under a new service delivery model. 

Help us find the right balance to keep moving our city forward for future generations, while keeping it fair and as affordable as possible today.

Speed limits outside Tauranga schools will drop to 30km/h during drop off and pick up times from early-mid 2025 to make it safer for students.

Council’s ‘Consultation with Tangata Whenua on Resource Consent Applications Policy 2006’ requires updating to ensure that it’s fit for purpose.

Ensuring access to a secure and safe supply of water for our city is a priority for Council.
