Welcome to Tauranga.co.nz - the only address you will need to keep your finger on the pulse of our dynamic region.

We all live, work and play in the Western Bay and don't need anyone to tell us this is the best place in the country. What we need is a site that can give us up to date information about our region; relevant for us and our lives.

It is OUR site – FOR LOCALS, BY LOCALS. A website "Just for Us".

This website covers the Western Bay of Plenty area from Katikati through Omokoroa, Te Puna, Tauranga, Mount Maunganui and Papamoa, to Te Puke and Pongakawa.
