Tauranga Statistical Information Report

4 1. Tauranga overview The location Tauranga is in the Bay of Plenty region on the eastern coast of the North Island of New Zealand. The city is well served by a variety of transport links, including sea, rail, air and road. By road Tauranga is 206km from Auckland, 86km from Rotorua, 107km from Hamilton and 548km from Wellington. The boundaries of the city extend from the Wairoa River in the west to the Pacific coast in the east, and from the harbour inlet at Mount Maunganui in the north to the foothills of the Kaimai-Mamaku ranges in the south. The land Tauranga is one of the smallest of New Zealand s local authorities in terms of land area. The city has a total land area of 13,440 hectares (this increased from 12,742 hectares in 2008 via an extension of the city boundary). The landscape of Tauranga is dominated by two key features, the harbour (which is thought to have been part of a plain that was flooded following the end of the last ice age) and the 232 metre high Mount Maunganui (Mauao). Mount Maunganui and nearby Mount Drury (Hopukiore) are remnants of an ancient volcanic area. The people resident population, as at March 2013, of 114,789 people estimated resident population of 119,800 people as at 30 June 2013 and 131,500 people as at 30 June percent of total New Zealand usually resident population above average proportion of European and Māori ethnic groups (83.5%/ 17.1% compared with 74.0%/ 14.9% nationally respectively) above average proportion of people aged 65 years and over (19.3% compared with 14.3% for NZ). Tauranga is New Zealand s sixth largest local authority in terms of population. At the 2013 Census the population of Tauranga was 114,789 people. At the 2006 Census Tauranga had a population of 103,881 people. The increase in population from 2006 to 2013 was 10,908 compared with an increase of 12,738 people from 2001 to The growth rate in percentage terms was 10.5% (or 1.5 % per annum), the sixth highest in New Zealand. On average per month Tauranga s population grew by 130 people (or 1,558 people per year) between 2006 and By 2033, we estimate that the population will reach 164,084 people, and 198,374 people by % of Tauranga s population identify with the Māori ethnic group, higher than the national average of 14.9%. Many Māori are affiliated to one of the three iwi (tribes) of Tauranga Moana (Ngāi Te Rangi, Ngāti Ranginui and Ngāti Pūkenga). According to the 2013 Census 19.3% of the population is 65 or more years of age, higher than the national average of 14.3%. 1 The Estimated Resident Population (ERP) produced by Statistics NZ makes adjustments for net census undercount and residents temporarily overseas. It is only available at City level. Tauranga Statistical Information Report

6 2. Total population The 2013 Census data shows the population of Tauranga grew by 10,500 or 10.5% between 2006 and This is significantly higher than the nation-wide growth rate of 5.3% over the same period. The total population of Tauranga from 1981 to 2013 is shown in Figure 1 below. Figure 1 also includes projected population growth to Table 1 shows population by Census Area Unit (CAU) and the changes that have occurred within them at 2001, 2006 and 2013 Census. A CAU map is attached (see Attachment 2). As illustrated in Table 1, parts of Tauranga have grown faster than others. The older, more established suburbs of Tauranga show a small to moderate increase. Areas that experienced a moderate increase in population primarily due to infill residential development, including apartment, townhouse and retirement complex developments, included Tauranga Central (+0.5%), Brookfield (+4.2%), Mount Maunganui North (+10.5%), Yatton Park (+0.3%), Judea (+3.8%), and Greerton (+1.4%). Matapihi, Kairua, Te Maunga, Poike, Tauranga Hospital and Inlet-Tauranga Harbour CAU s decreased between 2006 and In comparison, the new developing areas are experiencing high growth rates. Significant population growth has occurred between 2006 and 2013 with the largest increases in Papamoa (Gravatt (+26.5%), Pacific View (+6.4%), Palm Springs (+36.0%), and Doncaster (+72.4%) CAU s), Pyes Pa (+97.9%), Bethlehem (+45.7%), Welcome Bay West (+15.9%) and Welcome Bay East (+19.6%). All these areas reflect the availability of greenfield urban land during the period.

10 4. Population projections Knowing the future population of Tauranga enables council to plan for infrastructure, facilities and services, as well as indicating the overall level of growth. Figure 4 and Table 3 below show population projections for the usually resident population produced for SmartGrowth by the National Institute of Demographic and Economic Analysis (NIDEA). Figure 4: Tauranga population projections Thousand people Source: SmartGrowth 2017 Projection. Table 3 provides the SmartGrowth 2017 projections at Census Area Unit level in five-yearly increments from 2013 to Under the SmartGrowth 2017 projection it is estimated that the population of Tauranga will reach 198,374 people by June Tauranga Statistical Information Report

12 5. Population migration As illustrated in Figure 5, at 2013 Census 53% of Tauranga s population (or 61,101 people) had lived at their current residence for less than five years. The national average at 2013 Census was 54%.

Figure 6 reveals that five years ago 41% (or 46,530 people) of Tauranga s population resided elsewhere in New Zealand, while the national average was 37%. Figure 7 illustrates New Zealand territorial authorities (TAs) where 500 or more people now reside or did reside in Tauranga in In comparison to Auckland City, 3,942 people who were resident in Auckland in 2008 were resident in Tauranga in 2013 while 3,117 people resident in Tauranga in 2008 were resident in Auckland in 2013; a net gain of 825 people for Tauranga. The opposite trend is evident in comparison with Western Bay of Plenty District where a net gain of 129 people from Tauranga was recorded at 2013 Census. Tauranga Statistical Information Report

The largest population gains for Tauranga from other TAs are from Auckland (+825), Rotorua (+402), Whakatane (+261) and Christchurch (+258). The largest losses from Tauranga to other TAs are to Dunedin (-36), Western Bay of Plenty District (-129) and Wellington (-144).

Figure 9 illustrates the ethnic profile for Tauranga. Proportionally Tauranga has higher percentages of people of European (83%) and Māori (17%) ethnicity than the national averages (i.e. 74% and 15% respectively), while lower percentages of people of Pacific peoples, Asian and MELAA ethnicity. Over time it is expected that the percentage of Asian, Māori and Pacific peoples will increase, while European will decrease. This reflects a national trend due to differing birth rates and overseas immigrants to New Zealand. Figure 10 shows that 76% of Tauranga s population (or 87,258 people) was born in New Zealand, which is higher than the national average of 70%. People born overseas accounts for 19% of Tauranga s population (or 21,399 people), which is less than the national average of 24%. For Tauranga percentages of people born in the Pacific Islands and Asia were lower than the national average while the percentage of residents born in Australia, New Zealand and the UK and Ireland were higher than the national average at 2013 Census.

16 6. New dwellings (houses) created At 2013 Census Tauranga had 49,839 dwellings. The total number of dwellings increased by 4,830 7 dwellings in the period between the 2006 and 2013 Census. Council records show that from 1 April 2013 to 31 December 2017, 5,538 new dwelling permits were issued by Tauranga City Council. Figure 11 below shows annual dwelling consents issues from 1 January 1994 to December The relatively rapid population growth in Tauranga brings with it strong demand for new housing. There were 45,366 occupied dwellings (houses) in Tauranga as at March 2013, an increase of 11.4% (or 4,647 dwellings) from the 2006 Census. As outlined in Table 4, over this time period the Census Area Units with the greatest growth rates were Gravatt (24%), Pyes Pa (89%), Doncaster (64%), Palm Springs (28%), and Bethlehem (58%). Growth in these areas can be attributed to large-scale greenfield subdivisions. In the inter-census period ( ) the largest increases in total dwelling unit numbers occurred in Gravatt (255), Hairini (318), Bethlehem (534), Doncaster (387), Pyes Pa (1,077), Welcome Bay East (204), Mount Maunganui North (321), and Palm Springs (411) Census Area Units. Figure 11: New dwelling permits issued New Dwelling numbers Source: Tauranga City Council. A monthly analysis of the dwelling consents issued for Tauranga since 2013 Census (between March 2013 and December 2017) is shown in Figure 12. While there is a lag period between the granting of approval to build and the construction and occupancy of a house, the graph does show the seasonal fluctuations in the building industry. 7 Occupied dwelling increase plus unoccupied dwelling increase, Statistics NZ Tauranga Statistical Information Report

24 8. Subdivision and new sections created There are two types of subdivision: Greenfield subdivision of rural land, which occurs in six distinct greenfield UGAs: Bethlehem, Pyes Pa, Pyes Pa West (the Lakes), Ohauiti, Welcome Bay and Papamoa (including Wairakei). Intensification/infill subdivision, where existing urban or developed parts of Tauranga are subdivided. Commonly this involves subdividing a residential property in two and building on the new section. Other subdivision may involve the construction of apartments or retirement villages. The greenfield UGA locations are shown in the map contained in Attachment 1 to this report. Figure 20 shows the additional lots created in the last two years and the last five-year average. The number of additional lots created increased by 89% in 2016/17 compared to 2015/16 and was 91% up on the last five-year average. Around 83% of additional lots were created in greenfield UGAs in 2016/17. New lots created in 2016/17 (1,723 new lots created) increased significantly by 809 lots (+89%) from 2015/16 (914 new lots created). 2016/17 results were 91% higher than the last five-year average of 903 new lots created. Over the last 10 years, new lots created were the lowest in 2011/12 with an average of nine new lots created, compared to 143 new lots created in 2016/17 in Tauranga.

Of the operative greenfield UGAs, Pyes Pa UGA has the lowest percentage of remaining dwelling capacity (15%), while Welcome Bay has the lowest remaining dwelling capacity (343 dwellings), refer to Table 4. Papamoa UGA which has the largest expected yield, has estimated potential for a further 2,065 dwellings. The majority of these are expected to be constructed in the Maranui Street area which includes the Mangatawa Block, and at the eastern end of Doncaster Drive in the Parton Road area. Wairakei UGA in Papamoa East was made operative in May 2011, providing further capacity for an estimated 4,220 dwellings. At 30 June 2017 it had the largest remaining dwelling capacity (3,196 dwellings) and highest percentage of capacity remaining (76%). Other greenfield areas have been identified for future urban development and their suitability is currently being considered through the SmartGrowth Settlement Pattern Review Project. Te Tumu in Papamoa East and Tauriko West future greenfield UGAs are currently being progressed through structure planning.

Employment status Tauranga employment status At the 2013 Census 40% of Tauranga residents who were 15 years or older (and therefore eligible to enter the labour force) were either not in the labour force or unemployed. This is up 2% from Approximately 42% of those residents who were 15 years or older were full-time wage or salary workers, and another 14% employed on a part-time basis. Compared to the New Zealand average, the percentage of residents not in the labour force in Tauranga is about 4% higher (similar to the 2006 situation). The difference appears due to Tauranga having a higher proportion of people aged 65+ (and therefore retired) and a slightly lower than average proportion of people aged Figure 26: Employment status of Tauranga residents (aged 15 years and above), 2013 Work and labour force status unidentifiable 4% Not in labour force 35% Employed full-time 42% Unemployed 5% Employed part-time 14% Source: 2013 Census, Statistics New Zealand Bay of Plenty regional labour market 9 The working age population in the Bay of Plenty region is estimated at 234,600 at December The participation rate in Bay of Plenty stood at 70.4% during the year to December 2017, up by 2.2% from the previous year.
