Projects and open consultations

Tauriko West, on the edge of Tauranga, is one of the large-scale urban developments proposed to support our region’s growth, delivering a new community with an estimated 3000 – 4000 new homes from 2024/25.

We are seeking peoples’ views on planning for parks and reserves in large-scale, greenfield urban developments like Tauriko West.

We’re proposing to change the classification of a small part (approximately 6%) of Marine Park at Sulphur Point, allowing a marine research and education facility to be developed in the future. 

A project to redevelop the land where the Battle of Te Ranga took place will bring new additions such as a tomokanga (gateway) entrance and walkways to the site.

We're lucky to have lots of reserves and open spaces at The Lakes. We’d love to know how you use these reserves and what improvements you would like.

We’re carrying out precautionary earthquake strengthening works on the Elizabeth St parking building. The parking building will stay open during the works.

Council has sold seven of its elder housing villages to ‘Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities’ while at the same time separating two of the villages from the portfolio and selling the land for private redevelopment.

Tauranga City Council has prepared a landscape plan for part of the 15km long Te Ara o Wairākei Stream reserve corridor.

Looking ahead to make sure we have enough houses, suitable ways to get around and community spaces to support the wellbeing of everyone who lives here.
