The Paengaroa Community is a mix of residents from Paengaroa Village and the surrounding rural area bounded to the north by Maketu, to the east by Te Matai, to the west by Pongakawa district and to the south by the Roydon Downs and Maungarangi Roads. Although some of the original families still live in the area, much of the population have settled in the area within recent years. The district is predominantly connected directly with horticulture and agriculture, but there is a significant proportion of the community who find employment in commercial and industrial businesses, both locally and in neighbouring centres. Rangiuru freezing works and Comvita, KKP, are all major employers. The community has access to a large community hall, as well as extensive sports grounds and courts which are administered by the Eastern Districts Rugby and Sports Club. Pre-school education is undertaken at the Paengaroa Kindergarten. The Kindergarten is located on Paengaroa School grounds. The district is well located to take advantage of the lifestyle that the Bay of Plenty has to offer. The climate is excellent, two cities ( Rotorua and Tauranga) are each only 45 minutes away, and the region is up with the leaders in the country for growth and development. The beaches and a whole range of outdoor recreation facilities and opportunities are all within close proximity. |
