Let's talk about Tauranga's 10-year plan
Join the conversation about our 10-year plan – have we got it right?
In a nutshell the plan is focused on investing in the future, doing the mahi, and making things fairer along the way.
One of our key considerations is to keep costs and rates increase as low as possible by delaying or deferring some projects, while making sure everyone is paying a fair share to help ease the burden on general ratepayers.
It’s a balancing act between the investment our city needs today and in the future, and what we can afford in the face of increasing delivery costs, rising interest rates and the cost of living.
We know it’s a hard time to talk about the investment the city needs and we want to know if you think we have that balance right.
In particular, we’re keen for your thoughts on:
• Our infrastructure – should industrial ratepayers pay more?
• Key infrastructure for growth – who should pay the shortfall?
• Reducing traffic congestion – switch lanes and try a different solution?
• Development in the city – will incentives help us grow our city?
• Sports fields and boat ramps – should users pay to play?
• A community stadium – this decade, the next or never?
• Car parking buildings – sell up, or park the idea?

Shame on You!
This is what greeted workers at Brookfield Sallies yesterday morning. All of it looks like it should have gone straight to the tip, which is what the Sallies will now have to pay to do. Surely whoever does this has no conscience. The Sallies do an amazing job of helping people in times of need and they don't need to be spending any money they receive on doing your dirty work, especially at this time of year.
