Tauriko Neighbourhood

We’re proposing some safety improvements in Tauranga South, Gate Pā and Merivale to make walking and cycling to and from school and around the neighbourhood easier and safer.

The purpose of Plan Change 34 is to change the zone of a small area between the proposed Tauriko Business Estate extension and SH29 and where the land use is predominantly lifestyle.

TECT Park is home to a variety of activities that need a lot of space, make a lot of noise or are just a little too wild for the suburbs. What else could TECT Park host for the community alongside our current groups?

The plan change will rezone land from Rural to Tauriko Industrial, plus related zones.

We’re removing the old Tauriko Settlers Hall, which is no longer fit for purpose.

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

The land where the Battle of Te Ranga took place will be restored to tell the story of what occurred and educate visitors about its importance.

Tauriko West, on the edge of Tauranga, is one of the large-scale urban developments proposed to support our region’s growth, delivering a new community with up to 4000 new homes, potentially starting around 2027.
