Tauranga City Council’s Strategic Framework project

Strategic Framework

You’ve told us loud and clear what you love most about Tauranga, and we’re listening.

We’re working on a number of action and investment plans (AIPs) to help us achieve the things you’ve told us are most important to you, such as looking after the environment, lifting each other up, and fostering creativity, business and education. 

The AIPs focus on new actions (not business as usual actions) required to support our direction and achieve our goals.

Update - 24 March 2023

Follow-up workshop on the Climate AIP

When: 27 March 2023 (immediately following the Council meeting, estimated 1pm start)

Climate AIP workshop agenda documents: 27 March 2023 (8mb pdf)

Previous workshop documents

Workshop documents

We will update our working draft AIPs to reflect the Committee feedback, and continue our conversations with any interested people, groups and organisations to develop a ‘version 2’ draft by mid-late April.  We will then seek any further community feedback in May to June, prior to adoption of the AIPs in August.

If you would like to be kept informed or to be involved, please contact the project team on ourdirection@tauranga.govt.nz or call 07 577 7000 and asking for the Strategy team. 

Our Direction - Tauranga 2050

Sits above the action and investment plans. It outlines Tauranga City Council’s strategic direction which is our response to the vision for Tauranga and sets out our pathway to delivery.

The strategic framework

Our Direction - Tauranga 2050 outlines Tauranga City Council's strategic direction which is our response to the vision for Tauranga and sets out our pathway to delivery.

The framework enables our strategies and plans to be grouped around the community outcomes – creating a clear line of sight between what we do and what we’re aiming to achieve for our city and communities, now and in the future. It also provides clarity about the way we will work to achieve those outcomes.

The framework consists of eight strands that all weave together, they are inter-related and none can stand alone.

There are strands for each of our five community outcomes:

  • an inclusive city – Tauranga Mataraunui
  • a city that values and protects the environment – Tauranga Taurikura
  • a well-planned city – Tauranga – Tātai Whenua
  • a city that is easy to move around – Tauranga Ara Rau
  • a city that supports business and education – Tauranga a te kura

And three strands highlighting the consistent approaches to the way we will apply: Te Ao Māori, sustainability, and working beyond Tauranga.

Community outcomes

Council’s community outcomes were adopted in March 2021 as part of the 2021-2031 Long-term Plan development. New initiatives identified through our strategies and action and investment plans will begin to be implemented through the 2023/24 Annual Plan.

Action and Investment Plans

A Vision for Tauranga

The community has told us we need a vision for our city; something the community can aspire to, connect with and guide our city forward.

We have developed a new vision for Tauranga, in collaboration with our partners and informed by the views of over 10,000 people

Check out the vision for Tauranga
