Consultation on the plan opens today.
The Tauranga City Council said in a written statement the city faced major challenges because of historical under-investment, contributing to problems such as traffic congestion, a housing shortage, and overburdened or inadequate community facilities.
The proposals are outlined in the draft Long-term Plan 2021-31, which set out a budget and work plan for the coming decade.
The six priorities are:
Community spaces and places - $672m. Replacing old facilities and building new ones to serve the city s growing population. Examples include pools, sports halls, sports fields and libraries
Transport - $1.9b. Helping people move around the city more easily and improving connections for local businesses

Tauranga city has the potential to become one of the greatest cities of New Zealand - if people agree to spend $4.57 billion of mostly ratepayer money on key projects and services over the next 10 years.
That was the message that came from a Tauranga City Council meeting today in which commission chairwoman Anne Tolley and fellow commissioners Bill Wasley, Shadrach Rolleston, and Stephen Selwood adopted a draft Long-Term Plan 2021 to 2031.
