Plan change 27 – Flooding from intense rainfall
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.

Good Warm Home Loan ANZBank
Just advising that anyone who is renovating should apply first this loan - even if they don’t need it. With the escalating costs AND hidden problems that you may come across you can go well over your budget and find this 1% interest loan useful. It is for 3 years and specifically targets items like double glazing
You don’t see this Ioan on the front page of there website and have to read carefully terms ad conditions.
If anyone has had success in getting their loan halfway through their renovation I would love to hear from you
