We are one of the largest and most influential community voices in Tauranga City. Achievements include retaining the Bayfair Underpass, persuading Tauranga City Council to reconsider tsunami sirens, getting work on evacuation routes started and the retention of the Mount-Papamoa Ward in local elections. Papamoa is a rapidly growing suburb (the largest in Tauranga City) and we believe the residents should have more say in its development, particularly the development of our infrastructure.

Our meetings feature relevant and informative guest speakers as well as City Councillors. These meetings provide an excellent forum for members to raise their concerns with each other and voice their opinions directly to leaders in our community.

Get involved and come along to one of our meetings and see for yourself. You can also follow us on our Facebook Page.

We look forward to meeting you.

Currently In Tauranga there are no democratically elected councillors and mayor. Instead there are government appointed commissioners. They were due to be replaced by elected officials in October 2022. However the government recently announced the The Tauranga City Council commission will stay in place until July 2024, another 21 months longer than originally intended. Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta made the announcement in Tauranga this morning, saying it would ensure the council had the stability needed to maintain pace. We prefer local democracy.

Must read We’re a bit worried about who’s left at Disneyland, because Mickey Mouse and Goofy seem to have moved to Tauranga and taken over urban planning!
