Tauranga Airport (Place)
SummaryThe Tauranga airport is situated centrally in the Tauranga region with a large land holding of 225 hectares, of which some is leased for non-aeronautical commercial and industrial uses.
In 1936 funds were raised via Council contribution to buy land from local Māori owners around the Whareroa harbour front.
The airport business is now wholly owned by Tauranga City Council but land ownership is shared between the Western Bay of Plenty District Council, Tauranga City Council (formerly the Tauranga District Council) and the Crown.
