Te Puke is growing fast - and we need infrastructure that can grow with us. That’s why we’re building a brand-new wastewater treatment plant for our town.

The new facility will replace and significantly upgrade the existing plant on Gordon Street. It’s designed to meet much higher environmental standards, provide greater resilience, and support the long-term health of both our community and our environment.

This project is a key part of futureproofing Te Puke:

  • It will treat wastewater to a cleaner standard, protecting local waterways
  • It will provide capacity for an additional 3,000 people — keeping pace with Te Puke’s growth
  • It will support new businesses and industries, including the future nearby Rangiuru Business Park
  • It ensures our wastewater network meets modern seismic and resource consent requirements

While this type of work often happens out of sight, it plays a vital role in keeping our town thriving - now and into the future.

Why do we need a new plant?

  • The existing plant no longer meets the latest discharge and seismic standards.
  • Our community is growing — more homes and businesses mean more wastewater to manage.
  • New technology allows us to treat wastewater to a much higher quality — better for our environment and our local streams.

What’s next?

We’re currently finalising the plans for construction and will keep the community updated as the project progresses.

A community information session will be held before work begins, so you can come along, ask questions, and see the plans for yourself. Stay tuned for more details.
