Many councils help support local business and economic development. Some promote tourism in their area, or provide business support services and grants.

  • Support business through the efficient management of natural resources balancing the demands of the present with the needs of the future.

  • Growth is a tricky space. Growing by expanding polluting industry is irresponsible. We need a more future-focused growth strategy.

    Youth employment matters, and so does training. The Bay of Plenty Regional Council can work more with groups to create better strategies for the future of work.

    Tourism is important. I would like to see mountain biking, fishing and kayaking as the focus of tourism in the Eastern Bay of Plenty.

  • Ensure infrastructure enables efficient passage of primary produce throughout the region, especially from Eastern Bay of Plenty to Port of Tauranga.

    Ensure rivers and drainage network provides protection that reflects value of primary production.

    Ensurer biosecurity investment provides protection for aesthetic, cultural and economic values.
