Ongoing work of strategy
A regional broadband action plan has been developed to encourage councils to work together to assist in the delivery of a fibre broadband network for the region. Government funding announcements drive these forward.
A regional Genuine Progress Index is underway to not only measure the success of the strategy but also the well-being of the region. This is a new way of measuring progress and well-being and takes a broader look at the factors that contribute to our well-being as a region.
An urban design stocktake and action plan has been developed for the region.
Grow Wellington, the regional economic development agency formed as part of the Strategy, is driving an enormous range of projects. Their aim is to drive growth in exports and to help create a strong and vibrant Wellington regional economy to be enjoyed by all. They work with individual businesses, and develop centres of excellence and other larger projects involving industry groups and sectors.
The Wellington Region Labour Market Strategy, which has key links to the WRS, is progressing with strategy workstreams underway and key projects being developed.
