The Wellington Regional Strategy (WRS) was developed by greater Wellington's nine local authorities in tandem with the business, education, research and voluntary sectors and Central Government.

There are also five independent appointees representing private sector and business interests:

One of the first tasks has been to undertake the work outlined in the strategy. Other priorities include finalising arrangements for ongoing input and engagement of the private sector, central government and voluntary sector. A range of 'regional form' initiatives are underway which link to the WRS.
