From tomorrow, the Zespri AIMS Games takes over 30 venues across Tauranga, Mount Maunganui, Pāpāmoa and the Western Bay for a week of sporting camaraderie.

Nearly every corner of our region will host 14,000+ young athletes at a range of venues, from Tauranga BMX Park to Baywave, Blake Park to Bay Oval, Gate Pā to Gordon Spratt Reserve. This is the beauty of the Games — the buzz spreads across the whole region, giving visitors a chance to experience all parts of the Bay.

Where the Games go, so does the spending. Nearby cafés, eateries, dairies, accommodation, and more will reap the benefits. Last year, this ripple effect added $9.75 million to our local economy, and we're expecting an even larger boost in 2026.

So let's get amongst it and welcome these junior athletes, their families, and coaching teams, and show them all the Bay has to offer.

We’re proud to say The Bay of Plenty has taken out the top spot in ASB’s latest Regional Economic Scoreboard, with strong exports, steady job growth, and resilient local industries driving performance.

Powered by our local kiwifruit orchards all the way to the Port of Tauranga, our export sector continues to power the region forward. The Bay of Plenty is supported by ongoing investment, construction activity, and a growing population.

While global uncertainty may create some headwinds, the Bay’s ability to consistently outperform highlights exactly why it’s such a great place to live, work, and do business.

Strong foundations, resilient industries, and continued confidence in the region are ensuring the Bay of Plenty thrives.

With school holidays coming up, it’s the perfect chance to enjoy some family time and back the local businesses that make our region what it is.

Start your day with coffee and hot chocolate at The Grocer on the Strand, before heading to the Toi Tauranga Art Gallery in Tauranga.

Or make the trip to Rocktopia, before taking a nice stroll around the boardwalk from the harbour or along the mount main beach in Mount Maunganui.

Finish your day out with an afternoon treat at Yomi, or maybe a tasty Italian dinner at Alpino. With endless local businesses to choose from, you can make family time even more rewarding.

Supporting local means stronger businesses, more jobs, and a community that continues to grow.

Here’s to the future of Tauranga and the Western Bay! The recent signing of the Western Bay of Plenty Regional Deal marks a major step forward for our region and brings long-term investment into transport, infrastructure, housing and healthcare to support our growing communities.

With plans supporting 40,000 new homes and 35,000 jobs, this partnership signals real momentum for the Western Bay and a future built on collaboration, confidence and growth.

We are excited to see the positive impact this will have on our community. More homes, more jobs, better connections and greater opportunities for future generations.
