Tauranga city councillors make their decision whether to sell historic village land for the project tomorrow.

The council is to decide whether to sell 4790m2 of the Village Green to TECT for a two storey building plus parking, for accommodating volunteer and community groups.

Councillors are expected to release their decision about the sale of Historic Village land tomorrow.

TECT proposes to build a $10 million community hub on the land – a shared working space for community organisations with flexible spaces; support from wrap-around services such as business advice and marketing; and opportunities for community organisations to collaborate with each other.

The decision, which was to have been made on February 22, but was delayed while the council obtained more information on costs relating to the project.

The land at the village green is swampy and bringing it up to standard to support a two storey building will be at the cost of the Tauranga City council.

TECT chairman Bill Holland acknowledged in November 2015 when TECT originally pitched the proposal, that there are drainage issues with the land.

'I didn't realise it's a damn swamp,” says Bill. 'There's a spring there. I didn't realise that. I often wondered why it wasn't used more often and the answer is it is wet, too wet to sit on.”

There is an engineering solution, says Bill, and TECT obtained a report saying building the proposed two story building on site will cost, but it can be done.

'We have said at the outset we will pay what it's worth, less what it costs to make it worth what it is,” says Bill.

Tuesday's discussion will start at around 2.30pm.

The staff recommendation in the agenda is to support the development.

Feedback from community consultation and engagement indicates general support for the proposal. Of 97 responses received, 76 support the proposal; 17 are against it and 4 gave no answer or were indifferent.
