Changes to opening hours at Tauranga Blood Donor Centre
To all of our regular blood donors, and our new donors that we haven’t met yet…
We wanted to let you know about some changes to the opening hours at our Tauranga Donor Centre.
The Donor Centre will no longer be open for regular whole blood donations from 4pm on Thursdays.
The reason for this change is to enable us to meet the increasing demand across New Zealand for blood products made from plasma. A single plasma donation can be made into 13 lifesaving blood products.
To ensure we can continue to meet demand, we have decided to allocate Thursday evenings to plasma-only donors.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
However, to accommodate more appointment times, we are starting a regular mobile blood drive for whole blood at St Peter’s Church across the road. We do hope you can continue to donate with us and look forward to seeing you at your next donation.
We thank you so much for your donations and for your understanding of this change.
Regards,
Team at New Zealand Blood Service Tauranga Donor Centre

Buying a home in Tauranga isn't just a transaction....
Buying a home in Tauranga isn't just a transaction; it's a chapter in your story.
Buying a home is a major decision, and it's crucial to figure out your must-haves before diving into the process.
Before hitting up the websites, jot down your deal-breakers:
* Pick your preferred suburbs.
* Consider the vibe of neighbouring areas.
* Think about local schools.
* Check out the proximity to shops, sports, cafes, and restaurants.
* List your dream home features.
* Decide on the importance of a garden or balcony.
* Determine the number of bedrooms you need.
* Consider if a garage is a necessity.
* Ensure your wishlist aligns with your budget.
Now, let's talk money:
Deposit:
Decide how much upfront cash you're comfortable putting down to secure your dream home. Generally, a larger deposit increases your chances of getting a loan, but it depends on your lender and financial situation.
First-time buyers might qualify for government assistance.
Other Costs:
While property inspection reports aren't mandatory, it's wise to get one to uncover potential hidden costs. Choose an inspector with professional indemnity insurance who follows the New Zealand Property Inspection Standards.
Once you've sealed the deal on your new home, take a breather—you've earned it!
Together, let's turn the key to a future filled with endless possibilities! 🌟🔑
