Innovation Centre in Tauranga?


A short stroll from the Strand

So the news that a new Innovation Park might be built as part of a redevelopment of the Sulphur Point site in Tauranga has finally become public.

The Bay of Plenty Times reported a couple of days ago that draft plans were to be submitted as part of the consent process to the relevant authorities. This is great news.

For some time, Priority One has been working with the developers to scope out a high tech centre at this location. It will provide a base for local software companies and hopefully attract more similar businesses from outside the Bay. Tauranga needs high quality and well connected office accommodation to build its 'weightless' economy base. From London, the timing of this announcement could not have been better.
