Keenan Road Urban Growth Area

Keenan Road Urban Growth Area

Keenan Road is an ideal location to provide more residential housing to cater for the growth we are experiencing in Tauranga.

Tauriko Ward

The Tauriko ward is home to over 18,000 people and is a mix of urban and rural areas including Pyes Pā, Poike, Ōropi, Greerton (south of Chadwick Road), The Lakes and Tauriko. The expansion of the city to the west has seen boundary changes with Western Bay to facilitate the development of business, industry and residential growth. Over the next 20 years, 3,000-4,000 new homes could be built in the western corridor, enabled by on-going improvements to SH29 and connections to it. An additional 100 hectares of business land will be provided with the potential to create 2,000 new jobs. ​​​

Note: the new urban growth area of Tauriko West is in the Bethlehem Ward
