Bay of Plenty refreshes action plan for agricultural development
The Toi Moana Bay of Plenty Action Plan has already seen investment in the Opotiki sea farm and harbour development, increased Māori knowledge of direct-use geothermal power and unused land turned to kiwifruit orchards.
The refreshed plan, which has 38 news actions and 46 actions removed, was unveiled in front of more than 120 stakeholders today at the 2017 Annual Bay of Connections and Regional Growth Programme Forum.
Four Government Ministers – Simon Bridges, Paul Goldsmith, Todd McClay and Anne Tolley – also attended and addressed the forum.
Governance Group chairman Doug Leeder says the refreshed plan reflects the milestones which have been achieved since its launch almost two years ago, as well as new and evolving actions that will be pursued.
“It is important for the Action Plan to remain a living document that adapts to the ever-changing economic environment," says Leeder.
A full review of the action Plan and the Bay of Plenty Growth Strategy will take place by the end of 2018.
