Stakeholder Engagement Background

The strategy has been developed in partnership with Bay of Plenty Regional Council, Tauranga City Council, Western Bay of Plenty District Council, tāngata whenua, and central government. 

In developing the SmartGrowth Strategy, we’ve worked directly with stakeholders who are engaged in planning and delivery of community development, transport, infrastructure, housing and business land.

Over the last decade a number of initiatives have occurred that now feed into the SmartGrowth Strategy 2023. This is illustrated in the diagram above, along with the level of consultation and engagement that has occurred.

Throughout this process, consultation has taken place with all partners and stakeholders. To find out more see Engagement and Consultation 2023.
