A new trailer boat storage yard is only weeks from opening on a prime piece of Tauranga City Council-owned land opposite the Sulphur Point boat ramps.
And the other half of the 1.3 hectare site on Keith Allen Drive has been offered for long-term commercial leases.
Five years after the idea was first mooted, the Tauranga City Council has finally delivered on plans to build a secure 76-boat yard.
Council property manager Anthony Averill said 28 boat owners had so far signed up to pay $1650 a year to park their boats in the yard which will be managed in-house by the council.
And the city has capitalised on the shift of BMX up to Cambridge Park to put the car and boat trailer overflow parking onto the old track and off the other half of the 1.3 hectares.
