The site between Harington and Hamilton Streets in downtown Tauranga was once intended for a multi-storey public transport hub.

Two engineers have been fined, and one of them suspended for three months, over a botched car parking building that cost the Tauranga City Council millions of dollars.

The council abandoned the nine-storey Harington Street Transport Hub project in 2020 after discovering structural design deficiencies.

The council spent $25 million and sold the building for a dollar.
