Omokoroa
Builders in Omokoroa
Most builders working in Omokoroa drive in from town. We are already here. Belco Homes is based on the peninsula at Plummers Point Road, and we have been building and renovating across Omokoroa and the Western Bay for nearly 30 years. That is not a marketing line, it is a practical advantage. We know the soils and the harbour-edge sites, we know the subdivisions as they come out of the ground, we know the Western Bay of Plenty District Council process, and we know the local trades. When you build with a Registered Master Builder who is genuinely local, the small decisions that make or break a project get made by someone who has done it on this peninsula before.
From the new residential stages off Omokoroa Road through to the lifestyle blocks at Plummers Point, Te Puna and Whakamarama, we handle new builds, renovations, extensions and remedial work for people who want a builder who is part of the community, not just passing through.
A Local Builder for the Whole Project
Being based in Omokoroa means we can offer the full range of building work without sending it out to different specialists. Under one accountable team we deliver:
New Home Builds
Custom and architectural homes on Omokoroa's new subdivision sections and harbour-edge sites.
Renovations & Open-Plan
Modernising older peninsula homes and opening them up to the light and the views.
Extensions & Additions
Extra space, second storeys and reconfigured living for growing or changing households.
Reclads & Remedial Work
Weathertightness investigation and recladding in durable, compliant systems.
Decks & Outdoor Living
Decks and outdoor rooms that make the most of harbour and estuary outlooks.
Lifestyle Block Builds
Homes, sheds and additions on the larger sections around Plummers Point and Whakamarama.
Building in a Fast-Growing Omokoroa
Omokoroa is one of the fastest growing townships in the Western Bay, with new residential stages, a new school and town centre planned under the structure plan, and a steady flow of families and retirees relocating to the peninsula. That growth brings opportunity and a few things worth knowing. Omokoroa sits within the Western Bay of Plenty District Council, not Tauranga City Council, so the consent and district plan rules are different from the rest of greater Tauranga. The council is also rolling out medium density standards that can allow more than one dwelling on some sections. As a local builder we work with WBOPDC consents week in and week out, so we can tell you early what is realistic on your site and handle the consent for you.
Coastal and Harbour-Edge Sites
A lot of what makes Omokoroa special is the water, and a lot of the best sites sit on sloping, harbour-edge or estuary-edge ground. Those sites reward good design with views and indoor-outdoor living, but they need a builder who understands excavation, retaining, drainage and the wind, UV and salt exposure of a coastal peninsula. We specify durable, low-maintenance materials such as cedar, fibre cement, Colorsteel and high-grade joinery, and we design the site work so the home sits well and stays dry.

Omokoroa Builder FAQs
Which council handles building consents in Omokoroa?
Omokoroa is in the Western Bay of Plenty District, so building consents and district plan rules are handled by Western Bay of Plenty District Council, not Tauranga City Council. As a local builder we work with WBOPDC regularly and manage the consent for you.
How much does it cost to build or renovate in Omokoroa?
As a 2026 guide, new builds in the wider Tauranga and Western Bay area broadly range from around $2,500 to $4,500 per square metre depending on size, site and finish, with site works, services and council fees usually additional. We provide a realistic figure after a free on-site assessment.
Are you actually based in Omokoroa?
Yes. Belco Homes is based at 195 Plummers Point Road, Omokoroa. We are a genuinely local builder, not an out-of-town company servicing the area.
Do you build on lifestyle blocks and coastal sites?
Yes. We build new homes, sheds and additions on lifestyle blocks around Plummers Point and Whakamarama, and we are experienced with sloping, harbour-edge and estuary-edge sites including the excavation, retaining and drainage they need.
Can I build more than one dwelling on my section?
Possibly. Western Bay of Plenty District Council is rolling out medium density standards that can allow additional dwellings on some sites, though a building consent is still required and subdivision triggers resource consent. We can advise on what is realistic for your section.
Are you a Registered Master Builder?
Yes, with multiple House of the Year awards and the option of a 10-Year Master Build Guarantee on your project.
