New bus hub for Tauranga CBD

Some positive change and decisions for the central city. Look forward to see the outcomes of this design and works.

Durham St has been identified as a top potential location for a new bus interchange in Tauranga's CBD.

The proposed shift from Willow St would coincide with the $4.67 million upgrading of Durham St and Durham Lane, starting with the southern block featuring the new university campus.

Plans for the staged upgrading of Durham St were outlined to a meeting of Tauranga City Council yesterday. It envisaged the tertiary block from Elizabeth St to Spring St becoming a pedestrian friendly precinct with 22 trees, street furniture and a 30km/h speed limit.
