Northland is rich in natural resources and cultural heritage, boasts a subtropical climate, and has one of the world's most beautiful coastlines.
Northland already has a lot to offer for primary industry, tourism, food and beverage, and education — and it's time to build on that strength. Te Tai Tokerau Northland Economic Action Plan brings together over 60 different projects and initiatives to grow Northland's economy.
Funding from the Provincial Development Unit is already helping get these projects off the ground.
