Tauranga Water Restrictions

Communications from Tauranga City Council

As water usage has been extreme and the forecast is hot and dry, a sprinkler ban has now been put in place for our city.

From today, the use of all sprinklers and irrigation systems is banned until further notice.

You can still water your garden, by hand, between 5 and 8AM and 7 and 10PM.

For more information and tips on conserving water visit tauranga.govt.nz/savingwater

Let’s make every drop count.

Multi Level Housing Popping Up In Our Neighbourhood

Tanya from Pyes Pa

You'll have seen masses of multi storey developments in the neighbourhood - all part of Plan Change 33. Developers can build 3-level housing virtually anywhere. There's about 20 Blocks being constructed in our Patch with masses of property already sold and waiting for processes to complete before construction begins. The rules are listed on Council Website. It sure is controversial.
