The Te Maunga Outfall (Landward Section) construction works was tendered by Tauranga City Council in 2020, and took place during 2021.

The project included installing 100m of DN1200mm OD HDPE pipe (high-density polyethylene) in an existing 1500mm concrete duct, under the Tauranga Eastern Link (TEL). The TEL is a four lane motorway that carries 21,000 vehicles a day, and has a rail line servicing Tauranga adjacent to it.
