The expansion of the city to the west has seen boundary changes with Western Bay to facilitate the development of business, industry and residential growth. Over the next 20 years, 3,000-4,000 new homes could be built in the western corridor, enabled by on-going improvements to SH29 and connections to it. An additional 100 hectares of business land will be provided with the potential to create 2,000 new jobs.
Note: the new urban growth area of Tauriko West is in the Bethlehem Ward.
We are upgrading Taurikura Drive between SH36 and Whiore Avenue to support the growth of the Tauriko area.
Keenan Road is an ideal location to provide more residential housing to cater for the growth we are experiencing in Tauranga.
Tauranga is home to more than 100 playgrounds, many of which need to be renewed in the next decade.
Upgrading Cameron Road and the waters network beneath it has an important role to play in providing more homes for people in our city.
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 live in a wonderful part of New Zealand and in Welcome Bay there are many great parks and reserves enjoyed by the community.
Kōpūrererua Valley Reserve (the valley) is one of Tauranga’s largest reserves and provides a variety of different recreational and ecological experiences on your doorstep.
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.
We will be inspecting parts of our wastewater network across the city during February-June 2025.
The park is fully closed until late 2025 for tree harvesting and track renewals.
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.
Contributing to the long-term health and wellbeing of the catchment by identifying opportunities and investment priorities to deliver positive outcomes in freshwater management.
