Most properties on the sales list are deemed "under investigation" or still in the early "preparatory phase". The values are the conservative rateable values that were issued earlier this month for all the city's properties.
Mayor Stuart Crosby highlighted the political and legal issues on some properties, including the perpetual leases on four commercial properties in 15th Ave that are valued at nearly $1.4 million.
The first sales expected to go through are five lots at Sulphur Point in the Tauranga Harbour Marine Precinct, which are under tender to investors.
The precinct, with a total valuation of $11.3 million, has been surveyed into 18 lots.
Crosby said some of Merricks Farm could be retained for stormwater detention ponds and a passive reserve opposite the Te Ranga battle site on the corner of Pyes Pa and Joyce roads.
Proceeds from selling Soper Reserve, at 61 Newton St, Mount Maunganui, could be halved from the $1.9 million valuation if council decided that Brewers Bar should be allowed to continue its summer concerts on the southern side of the reserve.
Both reserves in Newton St, including one valued at $2.4 million, would go out for public consultation once decisions were made about what to sell.
Crosby said the 2.8ha Ohauiti Reserve was still on the list even although he preferred that it remained an open green space. Like Merricks Farm, Ohauiti Reserve was "under investigation as to future use".
He said the two forest-covered Seales Rd blocks in the Oropi hills, totalling 571ha, had ecological and historical value but were not worth a lot of money.
The council was also looking to quit land it purchased years ago on behalf of the New Zealand Transport Agency in Tauriko to secure route options for the Tauriko bypass.
Crosby said the council understood the agency was focusing on the alignment of State Highway 29 through Tauriko or a route close to that alignment.
The council will take about six months to a year to prepare properties for sale.
