Tauranga's warm coastal climate supports a wide variety of tree species, including many palms and subtropical plants. Salt spray, sandy soils and rapid growth all present their own challenges. Further inland, toward the Western Bay's kiwifruit orchards, shelterbelt trees need a different kind of upkeep again, and the network covers both.
Tauranga City Council and Western Bay of Plenty District Council manage tree protection through their district plans. We advise on consent requirements and prepare compliant arborist reports.
