Mapping our heritage A newly published map and guide showcasing heritage sites on the northern part of the Te Papa peninsula has opened up a treasure trove of stories from early Tauranga days. Named the ‘Historic Tauranga Nga Tapuwae
ki Te Papa | Footprints on Te Papa’, the map and guide highlights 72 heritage buildings and locations from Sixth Avenue through to Sulphur Point. Pictured holding the newly-launched resource is Tauranga City Council arts &
culture manager James Wilson, Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga’s lower northern area manager Ben Pick and Taonga Tu | Heritage Bay of Plenty trustee Stan Gregec. Ben believes this map and guide are important “because it will give people the
opportunities to identify and connect in a meaningful way with the rich resource of local historic and cultural heritage places located in the Te Papa peninsula”. Learn more about the much-anticipated resource on page 3. Photo: John Borren.
