Badminton & Community Facility Project

The Bay of Plenty’s Badminton Facilities Trust’s (BOP Badminton) ambition is to establish a cost-effective, functional, and future-proofed home for badminton, one that will nurture participation from grassroots through to elite competition.

The facility will not only provide a central hub for players, coaches, and officials, but also create opportunities for schools, clubs, and community groups to connect, collaborate, and thrive.  

The Site

The new facility will be proudly located on an elevated site at Tatua Reserve, 61 Newton Street, positioned close to key community amenities for maximum accessibility and use.

The need & impact

Tauranga faces a shortage of multi-court indoor venues, limiting opportunities for sports participation and community connection.  This facility will be a transformative community asset, promoting physical activity, social connection, and lifelong skills. It will create opportunities for young people and adults alike to participate in sport, build resilience, and strengthen community ties.

Community & Wellbeing

This facility has been designed as far more than a sporting venue. It will be a vibrant, modern hub for community life, offering inclusive, sustainable spaces where people can participate, connect, and thrive.

To Collaborate

We invite supporters to join this transformative project, contributing to a space that will inspire generations. Your involvement will help create a lasting legacy for sports and community development in Tauranga.
