Western Bay of Plenty Regional Deal
In February 2025, the Western Bay of Plenty subregion collectively submitted a proposal for inclusion in the Government’s City and Regional Deals programme.
Regional Deals are a new initiative where the Government and a city and/or region will work together to unlock opportunities for economic growth, provide connected and resilient infrastructure, and improve the supply of housing.
The Western Bay subregion proposal has been prepared by the three local councils – Tauranga City Council, Western Bay of Plenty District Council and Bay of Plenty Regional Council – Tangata Whenua and economic development agency, Priority One.
