Getting the heart of our city pumping

Kei te pokapū e tipu ana

It’s on in our city centre!

The transformation of Tauranga’s city centre is underway and you can expect to see a lot more changes happening over the coming months.  

A cultural and economic hub for the region

A growing number of people will be living in and around our city centre so we want to create a destination that our community has told us they want – one that’s vibrant, well-planned and safe, a city centre that is accessible and diverse, enhances our natural environment, and has more activities for everyone to enjoy. Together with our city partners, we’re on our way to making this a reality, with significant investment and public and private sector projects already committed over the next 10 years, as outlined in Priority One’s CBD Blueprint.

Transforming our city centre

Our City Centre Action and Investment Plan is the vision for this transformation. It outlines an overarching plan for the city centre, the investment required, and the programmes of work required to bring it to life.

Bringing the vision to life

We have a range of projects already underway and set to commence over the coming months and years that will see our city centre transformed into a great place to live, work, learn and play, with people at its heart: Te Rapunga Ora ki Te Papa.

We’re committed to revitalising our city centre so it once again becomes the thriving, beating heart of our city that our community wants and deserves.

Some of these exciting projects are outlined below.

Marine Precinct sale process paused

Mayor Mahé Drysdale has advised that Tauranga City Council was served with judicial review proceedings last night relating to the Marine Precinct transaction.

The proceedings raise concerns about the Council’s processes. Injunction proceedings were filed at the same time.

The Council is currently assessing the documents to understand the nature of the claim.

In the meantime, the High Court granted an interim injunction at 8.20pm last night (21 November), which prevents the sale from being completed today.

Mayor Drysdale says the Council has requested information and legal advice. "This is of significant importance to our city and the Council will meet promptly to consider this matter, after it has had an opportunity to assess the claim and its advice."

The Council will meet at 1pm on Monday to discuss possible next steps. Given the sensitive legal and commercial nature of the information and advice to be considered, the meeting will not be open to the public.

The Council is not in a position to make any further comments in relation to the Marine Precinct sale at this time, as the matter is before the court.
