WELCOME TO OMOKOROA
Omokoroa (pop 2547; 2014 census) is a settlement with extraordinary community spirit.
Omokoroa translated as the 'place of the long lizard' is an apt description of the peninsula which stretches from SH2 into the Tauranga Harbour.
Being just twenty minutes drive from Tauranga city and a mix of urban and orchards, it is a desirable place to live.
Amenities include the well respected Omokoroa Point School, a newly built medical complex, public library, cafes and shopping facilities. Residents fish or launch from the jetty, kayak, swim safely or enjoy the sporting facilities of a golf club, boat club, tennis club and field sports from the Western Avenue playing fields.
Try the bird trail walk with magnificent estuary and Kaimai views.
Enjoy your visit - you may never want to leave our paradise.

Community Feedback Day – 6 May 2017
Some 260 Post-It note comments (and supporting ticks) were left by residents on the Community Plan Review Group’s boards. Thanks to all who provided such a wonderful and thoughtful response.
Naturally, there were some “hot” topics:
- Omokoroa Reserves (other than The Domain) (42)
- Domain/Esplanade/Parking/Boat Ramp (30)
- Provide for a secondary school (23) – A Ministry Of Education issue
- Sort out SH2 and the Omokoroa intersection (20) – A NZ Transport Authority issue
- Trees (14)
- Rubbish and recycling (13)
- Cellphone reception (13)
- Water taxi / ferry to Tauranga (13)
- Slips (11)
There were other issues raised that the Council, Community Board and Community Plan Review Group have no control over, e.g a Drycleaner and a Village Pub.
