Tauranga City Council has been approached by two developers this week looking to push through housing under Tauranga's Housing Accord.
The proposed sites in Bethlehem and Ohauiti will add another further 298 houses to the city.
The first developer envisages developing 118 housings at the northern end of Bethlehem Road with a price range between $360,000 and $500,000. An average section size will be 420m2.
The 12.5 hectare site is within the West Bethlehem Urban Growth Area and has spilt zoning. Area A, closest to the road, will be zoned residential while Area B will be rural-residential with the development introducing a greater density of houses.

SunLive asked people in the community what their thoughts were and what areas around the region needed more housing.
