The commissioners have been a disaster! Their Long-Term Plan (LTP) will destroy the character and bankrupt Tauranga. This election is between those candidates who support the LTP and those who don't.
Come and to Garth Mathieson & John Robson tell the facts and what you need to do to save our city. This will be the most important meeting you will attend. NOT TO BE MISSED.
Consider ... Why have the commissioners committed to spend over $1 Billion dollars on the Te Papa Ward and little on any others. But all ratepayers in the other 7 wards will pay for the developments.
Thursday 20th June at 6.30pm at the Atrium 252 Otumoetai Rd - Saturday 22nd June at 5.15pm at Bethlehem Hall 239 St Hwy 2 - Sunday 23 June at Club Mount 45 Kawaka St Mount Maunganui.

Bird Catcher Tree - Parapara

Lisa from Otumoetai

I have just spent some time trying to remove seed pods from a very distressed blackbird that could no longer fly. Please people if you have this tree either consider getting rid of it or spend some time to remove all the sticky seeds, which are like Superglue.

Transforming Home Buying: Share Your Thoughts!

Lorraine from Mount Maunganui

Hello Mt Maunganui, Arataki, Papamoa and Tauranga Communities,
I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out to gather your thoughts on a new business idea that could make buying a home a whole lot easier for our community.

Purchasing real estate is one of the biggest investments many of us make. When selling, you have an agent dedicated to your needs. But when buying, you’re often left to navigate the process alone. That’s where a Buyer’s Agent comes in—a property expert committed to helping you find and purchase your ideal home.

Buyer’s Agents, common in the US and Australia, but new to the Bay of Plenty, have no listings, ensuring they have no conflicts of interest. They work exclusively for you, the buyer, to secure the best possible outcome. Here’s how they help:
1. Personalized Service: they spend time understanding your needs to find your ideal property.
2. Property Searches: they locate properties that match your criteria and arrange private viewings.
3. Property Ratings: After each viewing, they help you evaluate the property based on your needs.
4. Appraisals: They provide property appraisals with comparable sales data to ensure you don’t pay more than the property is worth.
5. Negotiations: They guide you through Sale and Purchase Agreements, and handle negotiations and auctions.
6. Due Diligence: They arrange all necessary checks, including title searches, LIM reports, property inspections and more.
7. Protection: They protect you from common pitfalls and costly mistakes.
8. Expense Summaries: They provide a summary of outgoings like insurance, rates, and body corporate fees.
9. Smooth Transactions: They ensure all conditions of sale are met and that settlement proceeds as expected.
10. Informed Decisions: They help you make confident, informed buying decisions.

Would a service like this be valuable to you or someone you know?
Your feedback is crucial in determining if our community is ready for a Buyer’s Agency Service.

Thank you so much for your time and support.
