Feedback from all groups has provided us with an understanding of community values and allowed us to proactively plan for a sustainable future. We’ve incorporated what we’ve heard in this plan, which provides a roadmap to support the forecast growth – and highlights how important it will be to work together to get there. Taking a collaborative approach now, and as we move forward, gives us a greater ability to harness the opportunities of growth rather than succumbing to its negative impacts. We have an opportunity to create a place that reflects our cultural heritage and welcomes all communities, protects the things we love about Te Papa and improves the way we move around the city.

Te Tiro Whānui Te Papa Spatial Plan Overview 6 1.1 Te aronga matua Purpose of the Te Papa Spatial Plan The spatial plan sets the strategic direction to how we manage growth to meet future needs, opportunities and challenges in Te Papa over the next 30 years. It provides a coordinated and integrated approach to: • the way we move around (transport) • where we live (urban form) • where we work (economy) • where we play (open space, community facilities) • how we are supported (health, social services, commercial activity) • where we learn (education, culture, identity). The plan will assist in more efficient use of resources, including infrastructure, the way we move around, and how we live. In turn, this will reduce costs to the community and individuals, as well as providing potential for better use of time and healthier living. As non-statutory documents, spatial plans help to inform council planning processes such as city plans, social infrastructure planning, transport planning, local plans, and the annual plan and long term plan. They do this by identifying actions and projects that are needed to achieve the outcomes, in this case for Te Papa. A spatial plan generally provides a high level of detail and indicates areas where this detail should be investigated further. There are four sections in this spatial plan: Overview 1 Identifies the background and strategic context to the spatial plan, the overall approach to enabling growth in Te Papa, priority areas of focus and anticipated benefits. Outcomes 2 Identifies the outcomes we expect to see as we grow, and actions required to achieve these; these are focused on supporting the growth of unique, liveable, connected and healthy neighbourhoods within Te Papa. Key centre plans 3 Provide an overview of expectations for local planning and improvement of key centres identified as priority areas of focus in Te Papa. Implementation plan 4 Sets out actions in the form of projects and further planning work required over a 10 to 30- year period to deliver the spatial plan outcomes. 7 1.2 Ngā āhuatanga o te takiwā Understanding Te Papa Within the context of this spatial plan, Te Papa peninsula refers to the area of land from Greerton to the city centre. The name Te Papa was originally used by local iwi to describe the central/northern part of the peninsula, with other historical Māori names also applying to the wider area (refer to section 1.3). Since the 19th century and more recently, references to the name Te Papa can be found on websites such as nzhistory.govt.nz and tauranga.kete.net.nz that identify the historic attributes of the area. Te Papa is also the ward name for the group of suburbs (City Centre, The Avenues, Gate Pā/Pukehinahina, Merivale and Greerton) within the area that this spatial plan focuses on. Having experienced significant growth through the latter part of the 20th century, Te Papa is now home to 20,000 people, approximately 14% of the city’s total population. Over the next 30 years, this population is expected to grow by another 72%.
