The Economic Development Strategy document sets out the criteria that Council used to guide decision making relating to the District’s economic and business sector development.

The strategy ensures the reasons behind Council’s decisions are consistent, predictable, equitable and available to the public. As such, the Economic Development Strategy is a key tool to enable optimal access to prosperity by the Mackenzie District community.

The Economic Development Strategy is a non-statutory enabling mechanism for Council to deliver wide spectrum access to prosperity in conjunction with Council’s other strategic planning instruments such as Te Manahuna Ki Uta | Destination Mackenzie, Spatial Plan, Long Term Plan and the Land Strategy.
