Thriving together

We provide ownership and management of Regional Parks for cultural heritage protection and recreation purposes.

Information about support we offer through funding and scholarships.

Volunteers help Regional Council to extend work programmes, build community resilience and provide invaluable localised knowledge with their diverse skill-sets and experience.

At Bay of Plenty Regional Council, we’re proud to own and work alongside Quayside Holdings Limited—an investment company that provides long term financial security to the region through a diversified portfolio. 

What should local government look like for our region? The Government has announced a new voluntary Head Start pathway for councils that want to put forward local government reorganisation proposals ahead of wider reform from 2028.

Māori are key partners, stakeholders and members of our community. The Bay of Plenty has the largest number of iwi within any region in New Zealand.
