Matua-Ōtūmoetai Neighbourhood

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

This ward is home to over 18,500 people and includes Matua, Ōtūmoetai, Bellevue and Brookfield. The peninsula is bounded by the Waikareao Estuary, including Motupae Island, Te Awanui (Tauranga Harbour) and Matua Saltmarsh. 

The name Ōtūmoetai translates to the place where the tide stands still as if asleep.

This popular area is well placed to support growth because its central location, proximity to the water, green spaces, and commercial/retail centres make it a great place to live. It already has much of the necessary infrastructure in place, including schools and transport links and has beautiful parks.

We worked with the community, mana whenua and key stakeholders to help us create a plan for this special part of the city. Our Ōtūmoetai Spatial Plan sets out the vision for this transformation.
