Mauao/Mount Maunganui Neighbourhood

Hopukiore (Mount Drury) play area is ready for a refresh, and we need your help make it even more awesome!

Intersection changes around Maranui Street, Girven Road and Oceanbeach Road are improving travel between Pāpāmoa and the Mount and increasing safety for pedestrians. 

We're proposing to amend our Alcohol Control Bylaw to formalise the temporary summer period alcohol-free area along the coastal strip.

We’re renewing wastewater pipes in Mount Maunganui North, with work scheduled for October and November 2024, and March and April 2025.

We’re making Maunganui Road safer and more attractive.

We are making Links Avenue a more welcoming and safer environment for the community.

We reviewed our three key sporting facilities, Baypark, Blake Park and Tauranga and Wharepai Domain to see how they met the needs of particular groups, and how we could make them better and more accessible for everyone in the community.

We’re proposing some enhancements to Links Avenue Reserve to support the growth of football across Tauranga, now and into the future.

The spaces available at the Mercury Baypark site in Te Maunga, Mount Maunganui, have the potential to be optimised and repurposed to cater to the city's growing population and increasing need for space to play sports and hold recreational activities and events.

As a growing city, we’re dedicated to improving the capacity and quality of the city-wide network for sports and recreation to benefit community wellbeing. At Blake Park, our goal is to create a field sports hub for community and high-performance sports.

Council’s ‘Consultation with Tangata Whenua on Resource Consent Applications Policy 2006’ requires updating to ensure that it’s fit for purpose.

The policy direction paves the way for services and assets to stay in councils' ownership and control, while operating under a new service delivery model. 

Setting speed limits is more than just a number on a sign – it’s all about people and how we keep them safe.

Ensuring access to a secure and safe supply of water for our city is a priority for Council.
