As one of New Zealand’s fastest growing districts, the Western Bay is a shining light to the rest of the country in the way it is planning for its grown over the next 50 years.
Historically regarded as the “rural neighbour” of Tauranga City, the Western Bay is characterised by its four towns set within a rural landscape featuring pastoral and dairy farming, horticulture, home based cottage industries and diverse rural lifestyle.
The District is home to more than 42,000 people, covers 212,000 hectares from Waihi Beach in the north to Otamarakau in the south east and basks in between 1900-2300 hours of sunshine each year.
Within the District’s boundaries are the World’s Kiwifruit Capital Te Puke, the Peninsula paradise of Omokoroa, the Mural Town of Katikati and the coastal havens of Waihi Beach and Maketu.
Our prowess in horticulture, agriculture, tourism and the marine and food sectors makes the Western Bay the economic engine room of the sub-region.
Here you have the opportunity to relax on our gorgeous beaches, adventure in our native bush and regional parks or explore our interesting towns, the Western Bay has it all.
