Annual plan hearings have been placed on hold while we consider revising the plan and re-consulting with our community.

The official consultation period ended on Sunday with 285 written submissions and 72 requests to speak with councillors during hearings that were originally scheduled for 13-15 May.

These hearings, and later deliberations scheduled for 2-4 June, have now been placed on hold.

If we do consult again, people who have already submitted will be able to retain, revise or retract their submissions. People who have asked to be heard will be advised of new hearing dates when they have been finalised.

Mauao closure

Communications from Tauranga City Council

Yes, Mauao is still closed and here's why
⬇️⬇️⬇️

👫Maintaining a safe physical distance🚶‍♂️

Unfortunately, due to the narrowness of parts of the tracks, a safe physical distance of 2m can't be kept.

Why don't we make it one way?
Working with the Mauao Trust we looked into this instead of closing it, but unfortunately it was not feasible given people's varying physical abilities.

Some people will still want to run while others may want to keep a more leisurely pace, and despite people's best efforts, maintaining a safe distance while passing isn't possible.

😡Other tracks are open though!😡
The main difference between Mauao and some of the other tracks that are open is volume. Truthfully, the other tracks just don't see the volume of people Mauao does.

When will it reopen?
Working with the Mauao Trust, we will look to open it as soon as it is safe to do so.

This time is allowing Mauao to take a break and replenish. Please be respectful of the closure and the measures in place for your safety.

Transfer stations

Communications from Tauranga City Council

We appreciate the reaction from some of you to transfer stations remaining closed at level 3 and possibly level 2. And equally, the questions raised about recycling going to landfill. There are good reasons for this, but it’s a longish story. So if you’re interested – have a read of this.

And by the way, your desire to recycle is making us proud. We can't wait to be able to provide these services again. Thank you.
