Tauriko for Tomorrow is a collaboration between Bay of Plenty Regional, Western Bay of Plenty District and Tauranga City Councils, and the NZ Transport Agency. 


The vision for Tauriko for Tomorrow is to create a thriving community for locals to live, learn, work and play locally. This means the community will have amenities such as schools, parks, cycle and walkways, access to shopping and community facilities, and transport infrastructure.
