Long Term Plan 2021-31
Tauranga faces a “challenging” funding shortfall over the next 10 years because of the city’s rapid growth.
Up to $4.3 billion needs to be invested in in roads, parks, pipes, stormwater systems and other infrastructure to open up land for new homes and cater to the intensification of Te Papa peninsula. This is approximately double what we currently invest in such projects.
We’ll consult with you about this challenge early next year as we prepare our Long-term Plan 2021-31.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
