1. INTRODUCTION The following inventory lists places of cultural heritage significance within the central Tauranga study area. It identifies individual places which are currently scheduled in the district plan or registered by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust. The thematic overview has been used to identify potential gaps in the current identification of historic heritage in central Tauranga. Those in italics have been researched in detail as part of this study or previously by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust. Where possible preliminary historic data has been collated for other places. In addition to the individual identification of places of high cultural heritage value in the following inventory, places or groups of places/ buildings which contribute to the collective heritage character of central Tauranga have also been identified. Not all are individually as historically or architecturally significant as key places identified, but collectively they reinforce the intact heritage character of the city centre. Groups of retail and commercial buildings survive from the early part of the twentieth century, particularly in lower Devonport Road and on The Strand. These places make an important contribution to the established streetscape character in Tauranga. Research record forms have been prepared for these places, recording base information where possible. Places have been grouped as follows: Places of high cultural significance includes all currently registered places together with others that have been researched as part of this study that could be considered for inclusion in the district plan heritage register Places which are of significance primarily for their collective character values. A potential Character Heritage Overlay has been identified to reflect these groups of traditional buildings. 1
