Be inspired, uplifted and sunburnt at LGCOG Forum 2025 hosted by Tauranga City Council in Tauranga, Bay of Plenty.  Our goal is to show the stakeholders in the sector the significant growth curve experienced by the region, how it has been managed, measured, what have been the challenges and achievements and what hasn't been quite so successful.  What has Council done, the partnerships it has built, how it has managed growth in the fastest growing city in New Zealand.  All of this while the conference is being held in paradise.

We are really looking forward to hosting you in Tauranga in February 2025.  It will be lovely weather, on the Pacific Ocean and in paradise.  It is a really busy time of the year for the city, which makes it exciting.  The beach will be quite busy, and in our local opinion, one of the best beaches in the country, certainly one of the most well-known.  There are a range of nearby destinations and the document attached below provides information on some options for you.
