“Keep Tauranga Domain as a Green Space for all to enjoy, forever”

Tauranga Domain

Tauranga City Council has resolved, without any comprehensive public consultation, to remove the international standard athletics track, relocate the bowling and croquet clubs to somewhere else, rearrange the tennis club in order to build a stadium for 8 -12000 people across a large part of the domain.

TCC does not want community sports played in the Tauranga Domain.

At the same time TCC has told the Speedway at Baypark they must leave and find a new place.

What is going on!! Who is making these decisions? And the cost!! Latest estimates are $500million and growing.

Who pays, you the ratepayer, another $250 ++ added to your rates bill annually.

Read on for the full details of this “Masterplan”.

Parks Masterplan or Fantasy Plan.

Priority One, Tauranga City Council and the Commissioners have decided without any true and meaningful public consultation, any business plan, without any available funding to rearrange the use of the parks in Tauranga. They plan the following

• Build a 8000 -12000 stadium in Tauranga Domain with no extra car parking

• Move the IAAF approved international class athletics track from th domain to baypark where it does not fit.

• Move the Tauranga Croquet Club and the Bowling Club t somewhere else — not resolved at all.

• Rearrange the tennis courts at Tauranga Lawn Tennis Club and take away the club car parking

• move netball from Blake Park to Bayfair

• Have told Speedway at Baypark to move on and find somewhere else

• Demolish the Mt Maunganui Sports Hall to make way for parking.

• no community sports in Tauranga Domain

Most of these clubs have ongoing leases to 2029, yet the council wants to start work next year.
