Community outcomes are the goals we set for ourselves. They shape the activities we undertake to improve the wellbeing of Tauranga.
We are also guided by a set of six principles.
We refreshed our outcomes in September 2020 to help guide the Long-term Plan 2021-31.
The outcomes listed below were created from community feedback on our projects around the city, and from a public survey.
