The contributing documents are all the documents that we already have to guide us when developing and implementing our strategic direction.  Each AIP will reference and include links to the contributing documents relevant to the area the AIP covers.  

Contributing documents include frameworks, masterplans, guidelines, and management plans (including Hapū resource management plans and asset management plans), and are listed below.

City Plan

The Tauranga City Plan provides the rules for how people can build or develop the land they own in our city.  

Tauranga City Plan

Community Facilities Investment Plan

It seeks to ensure we have the right facility, in the right place, at the right time, taking into consideration wider priorities for growth and investment across the city, and financial constraints.  The plan covers council’s core ‘multi-use’ facilities and identifies investment needs in our community facilities. The plan has been developed collaboratively by Tauranga City Council and Bay Venues Ltd.

Play, Active Recreation and Sport (PARS) AIP – maps

This document provides a high-level gaps assessment of play, active recreation and sport infrastructure areas of the city.  The maps indicate existing facilities and actions proposed in plan, and provide some site-specific information additional to that contained within the document itself.   
Note: for some actions, further assessment and site-specific detail is to be completed. Site specific planning and detailed design will involve community engagement as necessary. Details of gaps in supporting infrastructure such as provision of artificial shade, toilets, changing facilities, showers, drinking fountains and seating areas are not provided in this document. Some actions apply across the city, or have not yet been tied to a specific area of the city – these actions are noted on the ‘citywide’ map. Actions that have been identified for a specific area of the city are identified on the subsequent maps.

Long-term Plans and Annual Plan

Every three years we work with our community on a long-term plan (LTP) that sets out our budget and work plans for the coming decade. In each of the two years between every LTP, we create an annual plan. Annual plans are the budgets and activity plans developed by Council for the year ahead. They include details on the main activities financials and user fees and charges.

Long-term Plans and Annual Plans

Master Plans

A master plan is a long-term planning document that provides a conceptual layout, normally in a spatial or map format, to guide future growth and development.  Master planning is about making the connection between buildings, social settings, and their surrounding environments – creating a big picture vision to meet future needs within a community or local area. 

Sustainability framework

We are going to use the results of our recent sustainability stocktake as a starting point to develop the Council’s approach to, and actions towards, sustainability for the city. This will ensure that we prioritise our efforts to achieve improved sustainability across the city.
