Mauao/Mount Maunganui Neighbourhood

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

We’re making it safer and easier to get around Hopukiore (Mount Drury) Reserve by improving the perimeter pathway.

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

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 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. 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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