We regularly review our City Plan to monitor it’s effectiveness and to respond to any emerging issues.

Our housing shortage is a good example. As we grow, we need to ensure we have enough homes for people to live in and housing types to accommodate our changing population. To allow Tauranga to grow up as well as out and enable more housing choice, our City Plan rules need to make it easier to provide for more types of housing.

Head over to our website to find out what we’re proposing and have your say.

Remember, what you do with your house or land is up to you – but the proposed changes would open up a wealth of opportunity for our community and our city over time.

Why you DON'T put curtains in the washing machine

Owner from Curtain Clean BOP Ltd

Recently we have been taking care of (fixing) curtains that have been put in the washing machine. There are a number of reasons why this is a terrible idea.

Firstly, we take many measures to ensure your curtains get as clean as possible without shrinkage or colour loss. Recently we have had to re-wash curtains that have been washed but there is still traces of mould or live mould left on the curtain. We take careful steps to ensure this is eliminated as much as possible on the curtain fabric, and can always remove it from linings. These results are simply unable to be duplicated in a home environment.

Spray on curtain cleaning products contain sodium hypochlorite, aka bleach. If you use products to remove mould, it can result in colour loss. This is one of the more common problems we have seen. We test all fabric before cleaning to be sure of what cleaners can be used with it.


Washing curtains in the washing machine can result in other damage – curtains need to be handled with care, especially older fabrics. It is expensive getting a curtain re-lined due to rips – we take extra care in preventing this from happening.


In addition to the above – most of the time, they will come out of the machine wrinkly and look terrible, no matter the fabric type. Our service ensures they look great and ‘like new’ as they can when returned to you (and of course, fresh and clean).

Don’t make the same mistake, call us (the experts) instead.

We went on this tour late last year to three very different venues. It was an opportunity to get that different extra-special gift or perhaps spoil yourself. Unfortunately, many that wanted to come had functions that clashed with the date.
The tour was such a success that we decided to redo it, although we changed one venue. Then Covid - 19 prevented the second tour being re-done. However, we are persisting! The venues to be visited and enjoyed again are:
-Lilies by Blewden- Leamington (you may have seen David ion TV in the Covid ads.)
-The Interiors Barn Tirau
- Our new venue is The Heritage Gallery, Cambridge.
You will be given time for shopping in Cambridge before we move on to Tirau.
COST: $45.00pp. (door-to-door transport & Blewden Lilies).
