Tauranga business leaders are calling for public transport accessibility to be catered for in the Tauriko West plans to avoid the mistakes made on the eastern side of the city. \

[Tauriko West](https://www.tauranga.govt.nz/our-future/enabling-growth/new-community-tauriko-west) is a proposed large scale urban development on the edge of Tauranga, west of SH29 between Cambridge Road and Belk Road. It would have up to 15,000 homes when complete and would lie opposite to the Tauriko Business Estate’s future stages. \
