Everyone is welcome to attend Council and committee meetings. Here’s where you can find the dates and agendas for upcoming meetings, and the archive shows agendas, recordings and minutes for past meetings.
Council meeting locations have changed
The locations of our council meetings have changed to make way for the new civic precinct. The new locations are listed below on our meeting calendar.
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.
This is a temporary arrangement while the civic precinct in the city centre is redeveloped.
You can speak to Council during the public forum section of a Council or Committee meeting - please contact our Governance team on 07 577 7000 to arrange this.
Meeting agendas will be available two working days before the meeting date. Workshops don't always have agendas, but the topics being discussed will be listed.
Meetings are video-recorded. You can watch Council and Committee meetings live on our website when in session, or you can view them on demand on the Tauranga City Council YouTube channel.

Meeting minutes and video links will be uploaded to this website after the meeting date.
Some workshops or meetings may be held in confidential, meaning the public and the media cannot attend. In this case this is specified in the title of the meeting, and the reason for confidentiality is stated in the meeting information. Members of the public who have concerns about how council is conducting their workshops can make a complaint to the Office of the Ombudsman.
