On 28 November 2025, Property Council submitted to Future Proof on the Hamilton to Tauranga Corridor Spatial Study. This study looks to enable growth along the Hamilton to Tauranga transport corridor and seeks feedback on potential options and scenarios.
Why this matters to our members
Property Council supports the spatial study as an important step toward a long-term spatial strategy for the Waikato-Bay of Plenty region. It is crucial that this region shares a coordinated approach to residential, commercial and industrial development.
Our view
Our submission supports Future Proof’s work in creating a growth strategy for this region; however, we have some reservations at this stage of the study. Infrastructure funding and financing will be a key concern, dictating where and when growth can occur. We would like to see Future Proof and all territorial authorities in the area coordinate with the private sector and each other to ensure effective implementation.
