Masonic Park

JFC delivered a transformation to Masonic Park that serves as a vital connection between the future Te Manawataki o Te Papa civic precinct and the Tauranga Moana waterfront, marking a significant milestone in revitalising Tauranga’s City Centre. Key attractions such as a library, community hub, civic whare, museum and gallery will be included in Te Manawataki o Te Papa. Given its location within Tauranga’s historic core, the project required detailed planning and execution to manage archaeological sensitivities and environmental considerations. Additionally, the project required installation of bespoke landscape and street furniture which resulted in meticulous planning and meeting precise design specifications to ensure seamless integration with existing infrastructure while maintaining high-quality finishes.
