Tauriko neighbourhood

We’re looking at making some roading improvements on our main traffic routes to help people get around more easily during construction of some of our major roading and waters projects.

We’re building a new roundabout to connect Belk Road with the southern end of Taurikura Drive.

Our city is growing fast. The Fifteenth Avenue, Turret Road and Welcome Bay Road route links many communities and is going to become increasingly important as our city grows.

We’re resurfacing asphalt on Pyes Pā Road, between the SH29A roundabout and Braithwaite Lane, as part of our regular road maintenance programme.

The land where the Battle of Te Ranga took place will be restored to tell the story of what occurred and educate visitors about its importance.

Tauranga City Council has approved a three-month trial reopening of the Hairini Street slip lane onto Turret Road.

We are upgrading Taurikura Drive between SH36 and Whiore Avenue to support the growth of the Tauriko area.

We're working with NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi to deliver key improvements to SH29 in Tauriko, to enable the start of housing development at Tauriko West.

Tauriko West, on the edge of Tauranga, is one of the large-scale urban developments proposed to support our region’s growth, delivering a new community with up to 4000 new homes, potentially starting around 2027.
