'Heads Up'
I attended an information meeting last week.
This proposed Long Term Plan is currently open for submissions until 4pm on Tuesday 9 April 2024.
Cr Kevin Winters was very informative and the discussion held covered all aspects presented in the Consultation Document.
There are three main Consultation Topics;
1. How should we fund public transport in urban centres across the region?
2. Do you agree with our proposal to enable a managed sell down or our Port of Tauranga Limited shareholding to no less than 28% ?
3. Should Regional Council investigate new opportunities for regional parks?
Cr Kevin Winters gave us a 'user friendly' information sheet regarding Proposal 2 regarding the Port of Tauranga. See attached.
There is still time to complete a submission if you wish.

What was initially introduced to people aged 45 and over, has now been taken up by young and old. I am pleased to say that I have helped Clubs set up all over the country and numerous schools, who have introduced this awesome sport into their sports curriculum.
Outside of Auckland the next biggest Pickleball centre is Tauranga where they have club play almost every day of the week at different venues!!!!
If you are interested in wanting to give it a go all clubs provide beginner equipment for you to use.

The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
