Cyclists are advised not to use the Wairoa Bridge on State Highway 2 until repairs are carried out on the cycleway embankment, which has been closed since late March due to damage caused by waterlogged ground and slips.

Tauranga City Council has confirmed its approach to funding papakāinga housing, paving the way for more whānau to build homes on ancestral Māori land.

The cycleway at Wairoa Bridge will remain closed while repair options and remedial designs are investigated for a damaged portion of the cycleway and embankment.

As part of the planning and design for the Fifteenth Ave to Welcome Bay upgrade, a series of non intrusive surveys will be carried out along sections of Fifteenth Ave and Turret Rd between Monday, 25 May, and end June.

Illuminated waterfront experiences, theatre, dance and basketball will light up Tauranga this King’s Birthday weekend.

The University of Waikato Haumaru Sport & Recreation Centre has officially turned one and in its first year has become a thriving hub of community connection, competition and recreation in central Tauranga

Additional monitoring of the main Mauao landslide area has been set up.

More parking and safer intersections are among improvements that will be made to Tauranga city centre streets in response to community feedback.
