Promote our region. We have major economic opportunities in the Wellington Region and must share positive narratives encouraging confidence.
Share the vision. We must work together as a region and not squabble amongst ourselves. Incentivise private investment throughout our region.
Invest in infrastructure. Use debt to invest in resilient infrastructure to underpin the economic development of the region into the future.
Encourage local applications for council positions. Locals have vital, often overlooked knowledge that is unique, eg for pest control.
Commit to Greater Wellington Regional Council becoming a accredited living wage employer.
Continue to look at social procurement opportunities and include social benefits in procurement evaluation.
Support the end of Public Transport Operating Model (PTOM) so that more sustainable contracts/delivery mechanisms can be developed – with better conditions for drivers.
