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.
