Tauranga City Council
Takiwā o Arataki
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.
We live in a wonderful part of New Zealand and in Pāpāmoa there are many great parks and reserves enjoyed by the community.
A new shared pathway along the Pāpāmoa Coastal Reserve to make walking and cycling safer is ready to be enjoyed by all.
We're upgrading the wastewater infrastructure in Pāpāmoa East to make sure our underground pipes and pump stations are fit for the area's future growth.
Te Tumu provides an opportunity to support landowner aspirations and the future growth of the city.
Tauranga is home to more than 100 playgrounds, many of which need to be renewed in the next decade.
We’re improving pedestrian safety near the Palm Springs Boulevard shopping centre.
We’re upgrading the capacity of Pāpāmoa East’s wastewater system and building new pipelines and pump stations for future growth.
Construction of a new interchange over the Tauranga Eastern Link will see Pāpāmoa East connected to the motorway and enable further development of the area.
Providing safe and secure bike parking is one of the ways we can encourage more people to cycle in the city.
We are implementing a landscape plan for the 15km long Te Ara o Wairākei Stream reserve corridor, stretching from Pacific View Road to the Te Tumu boundary.
With the ever-expanding population in Pāpāmoa, we’re continuing to add and upgrade amenities and environments for everyone to enjoy.
Intersection changes around Maranui Street, Girven Road and Oceanbeach Road are improving travel between Pāpāmoa and the Mount and increasing safety for pedestrians.
