Plans have been revealed for a $15 million development that could bring more than 100 jobs to the city.
Developer Paul Spillane, of Mount Maunganui's SNG Investments, revealed plans to develop an empty section opposite Tauranga Hospital yesterday.
Currently a carpark, the section of Cameron Rd between 18th Ave and 19th Ave could soon contain a 1200sq m centre for independent medical specialists, a 22-unit motel and a childcare centre.
Mr Spillane told a Tauranga City Council meeting that construction would keep 30 to 40 builders busy for a year and the completed development would employ more than 100 people.
Eighty-five per cent of the development was already leased (subject to resource consent) and filling the rest would not be a problem, he said.
