Following are some key opportunities coming up.

Council is proposing to invest in a museum in its Long Term Plan 2018-2028. This plan sets the direction and budgets for the next 10 years. Have your say and help the council decide whether or not to invest in a museum. The Long Term Plan consultation is open between 16 March and 16 April 2018.
Find out about making a submission online and attending a community open day from 16 March to 16 April.
Take part in the referendum on the proposed museum and its location
The Council is also conducting a referendum as part of the local by-elections in April. Voters will be asked:
- Do you support the Tauranga City Council including a museum in the 2018-2028 Long Term Plan?
- In terms of location of the museum,
- do you support Cliff Road? Yes or no
- do you support Willow Street? Yes or no
The referendum is non-binding, but will inform Council’s decision-making as part of the Long Term Plan deliberations. Referendum voting papers will be sent by mail from 9 April, together with the by-election voting papers. You can submit your vote online or by post.
