Park and walkway closures
Protecting our communities from the spread of COVID-19 is our number one priority. To do this we have had to close Mauao tracks, McLaren Falls Park and all playgrounds.
We know it’s important to get outdoors and stay active, luckily Tauranga has over 20km of coastline for people to exercise. We also have a range of walking and cycleways as well as parks and trails. But please remember to stick to places that are walking distance from your home, as driving is restricted to essential services only.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
