Our Council and most of our Committee meetings are held at the Bay of Plenty Regional Council Chambers at Regional House, 1 Elizabeth Street, Tauranga until the end of April 2025 when the meetings will be held at our new administration building at 90 Devonport Road, Tauranga. Some committee and advisory group meetings will be held off-site at other venues, such as on marae. The venues for meetings are advertised ahead of the meetings. Confirmed locations will also be listed in the calendar below and included on the front page of the agendas.
You can request to speak during the public forum section of a Council or committee meeting. Further details about public forums, petitions, deputations and referendum.
Council and committee meetings are open to the public unless there is a reason to consider items in ‘public excluded’. These items are confidential and members of the public and press will be asked to leave the room until discussion is completed.
