Barry Muir has lived here since 1948, and remembers a completely different Tauranga. Significant challenges have been forecast for Tauranga and the Western Bay district with the area s total population expected to grow to nearly 270,000 in the next 27 years. In 2018, the Census estimated 142,100 people lived in Tauranga City and 53,300 in the Western Bay of Plenty. Collectively, these populations were expected to grow by 20,000 in the next two years.
But new projections obtained by the Bay of Plenty Times from Statistics New Zealand reveal Tauranga s population is predicted to soar 57,000 to reach 199,100 and Western Bay s by 14,700 to reach 68,000 by 2048 making a total of 267,100.
