Te Pae Tawhiti | Strategic Direction 2026-2036

E takatū ai te kaunihera, te rohe
Shaping our council, our region

The decade ahead will be one of profound transformation. Geopolitical uncertainty, shifts in global systems, new technologies, climate impacts, resource pressures, the cost of living burden and social fragmentation are creating a complex set of challenges. To respond, we need to address today’s economic pressures while also planning for a more resilient, prosperous and equitable future for the Waikato region. We need a strong economy underpinned by a healthy environment.

This strategy sets a clear direction for the next decade with a focus on delivery for the period 2026-2029.
