What is Te Puke Today?

Te Puke Today is an independent news and community website focused on sharing the stories, achievements, events, and developments shaping Te Puke, the Bay of Plenty, and wider New Zealand.

Our goal is simple: to make it easier for people to discover what's happening in their community. Every day, we monitor trusted news sources, council updates, community organisations, and public announcements to find the stories that matter.

Why Te Puke?

Known as the Kiwifruit Capital of the World, Te Puke sits at the heart of one of New Zealand's most productive and vibrant regions. Beyond its horticultural success, the area is home to innovative businesses, passionate community groups, environmental initiatives, and people working every day to make a positive difference.

Te Puke Today was created to celebrate these stories and help connect residents, visitors, businesses, and organisations with the people and projects shaping the future of the region.
