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 2017 1 2.7 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).

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 2008. 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.

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.

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 2017. 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 (2006-2013) 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.

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 2013.

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.

Table 6 outlines uptake trends and capacities of Tauranga s urban growth areas. 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.

9. Community age structure Figure 21 below shows a comparison of the age group distribution of Tauranga s population between 2006 and 2013. Table 7 outlines Tauranga s population in age cohorts by Census Area Units as at 2013 Census. The largest gain by a population cohort was by the 65+year old age group who increased their share of the population from 17.4% to 19.3%. The largest decrease (as a percentage of total population) was recorded in the 30-44 year old age groups down to 20.6% in 2013 from 18.5% in 2006.

10. Travel to work Tauranga is well served by high quality roads. The convenience of private transport is reflected in the fact that more than half (52%) of those employed in Tauranga drive a private car, truck or van to their place of work. The second most popular mode of transport in Tauranga was driving to work in a company car, van or truck (14%). While only a small percentage of people used public transport for travelling to work in Tauranga, numbers have steadily increased. At 2001 Census the percentage was 0.4%, 2006 Census was 0.8%, while 2013 Census was 1.4%.

11. Household car ownership Figure 23 shows the distribution of motor vehicle ownership for private dwellings in Tauranga for 2013. Most households own one vehicle (37%) with over one third owning two vehicles (37%). There has been a slight decrease in the number of households with three or more motor vehicles, down from 13.4% in 2006 to 12.3% in 2013. Around 6% of private dwellings in Tauranga have no motor vehicle compared to the national average of 8%. Figure 23: Household motor vehicle ownership, Tauranga 2013 Not Elsewhere Included, 1,770, 4% No Motor Vehicle, 2,760, 6% Three or More Motor Vehicles, 5,511, 12% One Motor Vehicle, 17,655, 39% Two Motor Vehicles, 17,208, 39% Source: 2013 Census, Statistics New Zealand. 12. Income of Tauranga residents At the time of the 2013 Census the average household income was $55,800, and the median personal income was $27,100. The average household income for Tauranga in 2006 was $45,500 and the median personal income was $22,500. This income is regardless of employment status, therefore it includes beneficiaries, which form a relatively high proportion of Tauranga s residents. As illustrated in Figure 24, Tauranga has a higher proportion of people earning $20,001-$50,000 than the national average, but smaller proportions earning in the income brackets over $70,000.

13. 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 2006. 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 17-25.
