More about the Domain Road Upgrade project 

Tauranga City Council started work on upgrading Domain Road in February this year with the aim of making it safer and easier for people to walk, bike and catch the bus along this busy local road. Stage 1 works are now nearing completion, including safety improvements at the Papamoa Beach roundabout and surfacing works between Papamoa Beach Road and Gravatt Road. 

Stage 2 is continuing and involves, amongst other things, the pavement works between Gravatt Road and Doncaster Drive. The plan is to complete Stage 2 by June 2020.
