Tauranga

Yellow Heading

Tauranga is currently home to more than 160,000 people. It is one of the fastest growing cities in New Zealand, meaning a lot of infrastructure is needed to accomodate population growth. This makes it an ideal location for contractors to network and discuss the way forward for civil construction.

This bustling urban centre is complemented by a great lifestyle, in a city that's surrounded by water. There is a great hospitality scene, and locals’ lives consist of fishing, diving, swimming and simply enjoying the stunning views from almost every corner.
