Living in Pyes Pa
Pyes Pa is a rapidly-growing southern Tauranga suburb around 8 km south of the city centre, on the rising land towards the Kaimai Range. It's been one of the Bay of Plenty's faster-growing residential areas through the 2010s and 2020s, with new subdivisions arriving steadily on the formerly-rural land between Pyes Pa Road and Cambridge Road.
The Pyes Pa Shopping Centre on Pyes Pa Road is the local commercial anchor, with around 20 retailers including the Good Local pub and restaurant (one of the most-searched local destinations), the Pyes Pa Pharmacy, the Pyes Pa Doctors and a New World. The shopping centre has expanded several times as the suburb has grown.
Pyes Pa Memorial Park & Chapel on Pyes Pa Road is the main regional cemetery and crematorium serving Tauranga, set in extensive grounds with mature trees. The Pyes Pa Forest Reserve to the south offers walking tracks and the kind of bush escape that the surrounding subdivisions don't provide.
Pyes Pa School (state co-ed primary) handles the local primary. Most secondary students attend Tauranga Boys' College or Tauranga Girls' College. Mostly post-2000 housing, with the section sizes shrinking each year as the subdivisions arrive.
