Our Place Tauranga, the temporary yet dynamic city space for local businesses is buzzing with locals and out of towners alike.

Tauranga based Trustpower is supporting the new addition to the city by supplying free public wifi to Our Place customers.

Trustpower ISP Operations and Delivery Manager, Ginny Buell says that to connect to the free wifi Our Place customers just need to select the ‘Our Place Public wifi network in their Wi-Fi settings when they are within the vicinity of Our Place.

'As a community-focused organisation, providing free wifi for 'Our Place” is a natural fit for us.'

Our Place is focused on supporting and engaging the community, so as well as providing spaces for local businesses, offering affordable rents to social enterprises and start-ups, the event spaces and public areas are also available for hire for community events like meetings, fundraisers and workshops.

Little Big Events Director and Our Place Tauranga founder Rachelle Duffy says that the free public wifi will help people to share their experience within Our Place Tauranga and show the world what Tauranga has to offer.

'It encourages the collaboration of ideas giving people a platform in the palm of their hand to discuss ideas, learn, grow and entertain.

It also opens doors for our community groups who are able to use Our Place for community events and utilise the free onsite Wi-Fi too!” says Ms Duffy.
