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

Here’s an example:
Tauranga is prone to intense rainfall that can cause a significant amount of surface water. It is expected that the likelihood of flooding will increase over time because of climate change and sea level rise, and it's crucial that surface water resulting from rainfall, which can cause flooding of properties and houses, is properly managed to reduce the risk to property and lives.

One of the plan changes we’re proposing, plan change 27 – Flooding from intense rainfall, aims is to ensure that future land use, subdivision and development within Tauranga is planned to be resilient to flooding.

Lotus fibre or lotus silk is a rather rare and exclusive fibre. The silk comes from the stem of the lotus flower which is made up of microfibres.


The stems are snapped off, the fibres are teased out before being rolled into thread. Once the threads are dry, they are weighed down and carefully wound by hand. Then they’re put onto the loom. These fibres are fragile, but once woven, can be as durable as traditional silk.


The entire process of fibre extraction, weaving the fibre, and making the fabric is completely handmade, making the process time-consuming. This also limits the quantity of the fabric produced. A large scarf requires the thread of around 9,200 stems and would take one worker around two months to complete. This is why it is considered luxurious and items made from lotus silk do not go cheap.

The resulting material resembles raw silk or an aged linen, naturally beige in colour and possesses unique qualities. It is waterproof, practically wrinkle proof, washable, lightweight, sweatproof and is soft to the touch.

Most importantly, its key quality is that it is one of the most eco-friendly materials on the planet. The lotus is a water plant. It preserves the eco-system in which it grows including the water as much as the surrounding wildlife.

Not only is it created from waste (lotus stems), but it also leaves little waste behind. In fact, lotus silk been identified as potentially the most ecological fabric in the world, and it is the first natural microfibre in the world. Being a natural fibre, it is biodegradable after its useful life.

PLEASE SHARE SUGGESTED EMAIL to affirm the appeal of former Mayor Tenby Powell to appoint Commissioners to replace the current councillors at Tauranga City Council (TCC).
Nanaia.Mahuta@parliament.govt.nz


To Nanaia Mahuta (apparently you do not use Rt. Hon for MP’s), You can use Hon.

As a resident of Tauranga I am along with others writing to affirm the appeal of former Mayor Tenby Powell to appoint Commissioner’s to replace the current councillors at Tauranga City Council (TCC). You may see this email from many residents of Tauranga. It is an accurate account of our thoughts, feelings and experiences with TCC.

A vast majority of the Tauranga community voted for change in the last local government elections. We believed that Tauranga City Council should have elected members and a Mayor that cared for the whenua and the diverse population that now live here. Many of us believe the elected members should acknowledge Tiriti o Waitangi and its principles of partnership, participation and protection.

We elected councillors like Jako Arbie, Tina Salisbury, Heidi Hughes and Mayor Tenby Powell because they did care for not only the development and infrastructure of Tauranga City but more importantly its people. The overturning of the begging ban for the homeless was an example of this. Opening the Mount base track within months of being elected another, TCC had stalled with this project in the past due to a lack of communication with local iwi and finances.

Prior elected members of TCC and its CEO often thought more of the development and financial gain for Tauranga than its people. They did not always follow due process which left the rate payer saddled with unprecedented debt; projects like the Bella Vista sub-division and the Harrington Street Car Park.

Unfortunately the last local elections also brought with it councillors who have the draconian mind sets of previous elected members and worse still attitudes that reflect the monoculture of a minority of people in Tauranga rather than the majority. Mayor Powell accurately described these councillors when he said: "Tauranga's future as a city, of strategic importance to New Zealand cannot be left to a small group of petty politicians who have a long track record of hindering, or even worse, stopping progress.” Many of us who attended public meetings would witness the blatant disrespect that these councillors showed each other, the participating audience and more recently the Government investigators appointed to report and make suggestions on the culture of TCC.

For that reason as a resident and rate-payer (one or the other or both) i/we fully support the outgoing Mayors appeal to you Nanaia Mahuta, Minister as Minister for Local Government to appoint Commissioner’s to Tauranga City Council. Anything less would only give these difficult councillors license to create more division in the community. As mentioned a good majority of us voted for change in the 2019 elections, that change will be short coming if 4 or 5 of these current councillors remain.

The people of Tauranga Moana deserve better!

Sincerely

Sign name. and address
