Tell us what you think
To sell or not to sell? We want to know what you think about our proposal to sell a 22ha block of land at Parau Farms, Bethlehem, for a housing development.
Originally earmarked for sports fields, the land is close to shops, schools and public transport, which makes it ideally placed to provide much-needed homes for Tauranga residents instead.
If it goes ahead, the proposed housing development would include green spaces and a mix of different types of houses, all designed to create a highly-liveable community. At the same time, we're looking at alternative sites for sports fields, which we hope will still be ready for football boots and referees' whistles around 2026-27 - albeit at a different location.

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)
.
