Public transport in Te Puke

Te Puke has a limited bus service connecting it to Tauranga, but frequency is low. The surrounding kiwifruit-growing areas have no public transport. Orchards and packhouses are located on rural roads that buses do not serve.

Employment and industry

Te Puke is the self-styled 'Kiwifruit Capital of the World'. The economy is overwhelmingly driven by kiwifruit growing, packing, and post-harvest services. Seasonal work brings thousands of workers to the area. Avocado orchards, dairy farming, and trades also employ locals. Most employment requires driving to rural locations.

Frequently asked questions — Te Puke

Yes. If your employment in the kiwifruit industry requires driving and there is no public transport to your workplace, this supports a hardship argument. The time-critical nature of harvest and post-harvest work is an additional factor.
