Four newly-opened parks and reserves across Tauranga South and Pyes Pā are celebrating more than new play and recreation spaces – they reflect strong partnerships between local communities, schools and mana whenua.

Ōropi Grove Mountain Bike Park will reopen tomorrow (Saturday, 2 May) as repairs to damaged riding tracks have been completed.

Ōropi Road between Maleme Street and SH29A will be closed on Thursday and Friday this week for emergency works.

An upcoming traffic switch is planned for Tauriko Village on State Highway 29 (SH29) as part of the SH29 Tauriko Enabling Works.

Major stormwater and underground service upgrades are getting underway at the eastern end of State Highway 29 (SH29) as part of the Tauriko Enabling Works.

A previously high-risk intersection in Tauriko has been transformed into a safer and more efficient connection for the community and commuters.

After being closed for more than a year to allow for an essential tree harvest, Ōropi Grove Mountain Bike Park is reopening on Friday, 20 February and offers refreshed tracks and trails alongside a new riding backdrop.

January will mark a significant milestone for the Tauriko Enabling Works project, as crews undertake an intensive programme of works to progress the State Highway 29 (SH29)/Cambridge Road intersection upgrade.

A new connection is set to open in Tauriko with the completion of the fourth and final leg of the State Highway 29 (SH29) Redwood Lane roundabout.

Two new signalised intersections at the northern end of Taurikura Drive will go live on Monday, 13 October, marking a major milestone in the Taurikura Drive Upgrade project.

For people that live near or travel along Cambridge Road, some temporary disruptions are on the way during the school holidays later this month as part of the State Highway 29 (SH29) Tauriko Enabling Works project.

Traffic management used on the SH36/Lakes Boulevard/Taurikura Drive roundabout will be altered overnight on Thursday.
