Mauao/Mount Maunganui Ward
Mount Maunganui, with over 16,000 residents, includes Mount Maunganui, Omanu, Bayfair, and Matapihi. It forms part of the coastal strip and includes Mauao which is an iconic cultural, historic, and geographical feature.
There’s no doubt the Mount Maunganui area is getting busier and we’re getting busier too, improving roads and making them safer, building better infrastructure for cycling, public transport, and pedestrians, and upgrading parks, facilities, and public spaces for everyone’s enjoyment now and in the future.
Looking to the future, it’s all about balance. There will be changes, but we’ll respect where we’ve come from and what people love about the Mount while focusing on the practical needs of our community, supporting business and industry, and enhancing our natural environment.
