Tauranga, New Zealand
We are a couple living in North Yorkshire with 2 small boys ( aged 2 and 3 ). We applied to emigrate top New Zealand in May and hope to open a restauant in Tauranga as soon as possible. If anyone has any ideas or help we would be very grateful.

A word of caution (which you may not need anyway). "Fastest growing" does not mean it has plenty going for it.
Sure there might be positives associated with growth, especially if you are thinking of getting into business (as it appears you may be). But there are also likely to be issues associated with fast growth, such as sprawling estates and infrastructure (roads, schools, hospitals) not keeping up.
And just because everybody else seems to like the place and are moving there does not necessarily translate to you liking it there.
So, I hope it was just a trun of phrase you used, and that you have many other good reasons why Tauranga is for you.
ps its a great place, and would be on my shortlist for sure.

One thing I couldn't believe was the attitude of some small buisnesses like cafes and resturants around Xmas and Jan, the main holiday season in NZ. They actually went on holiday themselves and shut up shop even in the tourist spots.
Far as I can see if you are prepared to stay open when the punters want you to be open you should be ok.
That attitude dosn't seem as bad in Australia.
