Rangitīkei Tomorrow - Economic Strategy Plan
A strong local economy is foundational to a prosperous, vibrant, and resilient community.
When the economy is thriving, residents see better job opportunities, higher wages, and a holistically better standard of living.
Rangitīkei is home to many successful local, national and global organisations who enrich and support Rangitīkei as a fantastic place to live, work, and do business. The future is exciting for Rangitīkei. The district is well-positioned to capitalise on opportunities for future economic development and growth, but we need to be prepared.
Rangitīkei Tomorrow presents an ambitious economic vision for Rangitīkei. It identifies key goals and priorities that will ensure the district remains well positioned for growth, and sets out how we plan to cultivate these opportunities with a comprehensive action plan.
How Rangitīkei Tomorrow was created
Rangitīkei Tomorrow was developed in multiple stages. Initial work focussed on a stocktake of the current economic outlook and profile of Rangitīkei, including understanding economic indicators such as GDP, income, and industry composition. This initial data was presented to key partners and stakeholders for discussion. Through a series of workshops, Rangitīkei iwi, business and sector leaders, and Rangitīkei District Council Elected Members provided valuable insights into the real life experiences that fuel Rangitīkei economic data.
