Let's talk about Tauranga's 10-year plan

Join the conversation about our 10-year plan – have we got it right?

In a nutshell the plan is focused on investing in the future, doing the mahi, and making things fairer along the way.

One of our key considerations is to keep costs and rates increase as low as possible by delaying or deferring some projects, while making sure everyone is paying a fair share to help ease the burden on general ratepayers.

It’s a balancing act between the investment our city needs today and in the future, and what we can afford in the face of increasing delivery costs, rising interest rates and the cost of living.

We know it’s a hard time to talk about the investment the city needs and we want to know if you think we have that balance right.

In particular, we’re keen for your thoughts on:

• Our infrastructure – should industrial ratepayers pay more?
• Key infrastructure for growth – who should pay the shortfall?
• Reducing traffic congestion – switch lanes and try a different solution?
• Development in the city – will incentives help us grow our city?
• Sports fields and boat ramps – should users pay to play?
• A community stadium – this decade, the next or never?
• Car parking buildings – sell up, or park the idea?

Ready to sell your home for top dollar? 💰 Let's chat about some smart upgrades that can make a world of difference!
In the ever-changing real estate market, a little extra effort can go a long way. Here are three DIY-friendly projects to help your home shine:
➡️ Curb Appeal Magic: First impressions are gold. Spruce up your front yard - clean, declutter, and add some fresh mulch. Prune, replace, and plant for a lush look. A dash of color with potted plants sets the tone.
➡️ The Power of Paint: A fresh coat of paint on your interior walls says "well-loved" and "ready to move in." Opt for neutral shades like white, off-white, or gray for that broad appeal.
➡️ Kitchen and Bath Love: No need for major renovations. A bit of paint and some updated sinks and faucets can bring these spaces to life.

Get creative with cabinet refinishing, new knobs, and stylish accessories.
Lighting matters too! Keep countertops clutter-free for that spacious feel.
We're here to guide you on projects that add value, not just personal taste. Feel free to ask questions – we're here to help! 📱💬

As the summer months approach, many people look for ways to keep their homes cool without relying entirely on air conditioning. One simple and cost-effective method is the use of curtains. This article will explore how curtains can reduce heat and provide a more comfortable living space.

How Curtains Reduce Heat
Blocking Sunlight: Curtains act as a barrier to the sun's rays, preventing them from heating up your room. By closing the curtains during the hottest part of the day, you can reduce the temperature inside.

Material Matters: The type of fabric plays a crucial role in how effective the curtains are at blocking heat. Thick, dense materials like velvet or blackout fabrics can block more heat compared to sheer or lightweight fabrics.

Colour Choices: Darker colours tend to absorb more heat, whereas lighter colours reflect it. While dark curtains may block more sunlight, they might also trap more heat. On the other hand, lighter curtains can keep a room cooler by reflecting heat away.

Insulating Properties: Some curtains have a special lining that adds an extra layer of insulation, keeping the heat outside and the cool air inside. These can be particularly effective in maintaining a comfortable temperature.


Benefits of Using Curtains to Reduce Heat
Energy Savings: By reducing the need for air conditioning......
