Arataki Neighbourhood

Welcome to the Arataki Ward. Find out what projects are happening around where you live, work and play, and learn more about your neighbourhood.

Arataki Ward

Arataki is home to over 17,000 people and includes Arataki, Te Maunga, Mangatawa, Palm Beach and Kairua. It forms part of the coastal strip and sits between the Mauao/Mount Maunganui and Pāpāmoa wards.

We’re investing in the future of Arataki, focusing on improving roads, enhancing public spaces, building better infrastructure for cycling, public transport, and pedestrians, and creating safer, more connected neighbourhoods.

In the future, key projects like the Arataki Bus Hub upgrade and improvements to local reserves will offer better transport links and improved recreational facilities. These developments are vital as Arataki continues to serve as a key access route for both commuters and the broader community and provides convenient access to nearby recreational facilities, including Baywave and Baypark.

More ways to move on Grenada Street


Plans for a separated cycle way on Grenada Street will not be proceeding at this time. This follows the withdrawal of funding for the nationwide Transport Choices programme and confirmation council is unable to take on the full construction costs itself.
