Welcome to our first pānui of 2021. After a year of significant challenges we have had a great summer here in the Eastern Bay, with many positive sentiments coming along with the many visitors. New Zealand has really taken to visiting the regions and we are fortunate to have received many manuhiri that have witnessed our piece of paradise for themselves. They have often seen for themselves that opportunities for them to come back and potentially even return home.

With total EBOP annual consumer spending in 2020 being up over last year, despite the negative lock down period, we have proven to be remarkably resilient. We remain in a strong position compared with many regions in New Zealand. We know it won’t all be smooth sailing and there continues to be significant pressure on the regions housing stocks, workforce, and digital connectivity.

Our focus for the past months has been to build and strengthen strong local and national relationships to benefit a wide range of programs such as those outlined below. In this panui we will reflect on some of our achievements in the Eastern Bay of Plenty while giving you a brief update into some of our other activities.
