Tauranga City Council has engaged with the community during the past three months asking what they want from a potential new museum and library in the city centre.
More than 1100 responses have been collected - from schools, community groups, business and community leaders and the general public. We invite the community to see what everyone has been saying.
Where: 2 Devonport Road (directly opposite Whitcoulls)
When: Thursday, 1 June from 4pm to 7pm
Friday, 2 June from 10am to 4pm
Saturday, 3 June from 10am to 4pm
City Transformation Committee Chair Larry Baldock said the feedback on display is gathered by theme and completely unfiltered.
“This is the people of Tauranga’s view, in their words,” he said. “We now have a clear picture of the type of experiences people expect to see from these facilities and what benefits a museum and library would have for this city. Come and see for yourself, and let us know what you think… is this heading in the right direction?”
“It’s been great to hear what people think with some consistent themes coming through such as the need for the facilities to be dynamic, exciting, and highly interactive with versatile spaces. Overall, the message is loud, clear and positive!”
