About the Tai Tokerau
Northland Economic
Action Plan
In 2016 the Tai Tokerau Northland Economic Action Plan (the Action
Plan) was developed in response to a growth study which identified
opportunities for transformative economic growth in Northland. The
Action Plan identified priority outcome areas and established four
key work streams, encompassing projects that together contribute to
the development of the region.
The Action Plan was always intended to be a living document;
encouraging new projects to be included as existing projects came
to completion. Input from stakeholders and progress on the plan to
date has informed a refresh of priority outcomes and the regrouping
of projects into six sector-based work streams. This second iteration
of the plan summarises these changes and reports on the significant
progress we have made so far.
The Action Plan represents growing partnerships between industry,
hapü and iwi Mäori, community and central and local government.
with an interconnection between the Action Plan and He Tangata,
He Whenua, He Oranga, the Mäori Economic Development Strategy
for Northland. We are on a journey of working together, building a
climate of high trust, collaboration and co-operation to support the
transformation of Northland’s economic wellbeing.

Moving forward
Projects within the Action Plan contribute to priority outcomes for the region, illustrated below. Working towards
these outcomes is vital to enable economic growth, and, in turn, ensure that Tai Tokerau communities are both
prosperous and resilient.
