The Mount Maunganui Industrial Area is crucial to the economic success of the Western Bay of Plenty and our country’s trade ecosystem. The surrounding area is also home to people and communities. The buffer between industrial and residential zones has decreased as the population has increased. Local communities have expressed concerns about industry’s impact on the environment, primarily around traffic congestion, air pollution and odour.
The Mount Maunganui Industrial Accord has been signed by 31 businesses in the industrial zone, committing them to take further action to improve their environmental footprint. It is supplemented by the Mount Maunganui Industrial Blueprint, a document collated by Priority One, which provides information on the area and sets out a pathway for the future through a set of actions.
See below for more details on the Blueprint and Accord, along with news on the latest progress by industry.
