Kia ora!

Welcome to our May 2021 Update. We are now a year on from our COVID-19 lockdown and we are re-emerging better and stronger in many ways. Our economy is outperforming the rest of the country and we are seeing private developments springing up alongside the many Provincial Growth Fund investments. As a result of many people looking to move to the EBOP, housing remains a challenge for many in our community and we are actively lobbying that some of the recently announced Kainga Ora funding increases will be invested into our region. In saying that, we are still seeing unemployment levels that are worse than last year and the uncertainty that has been created by the closure announcement at the Whakatāne Board Mill.

In this Issue: 

  • Forestry and the Whakatāne Board Mill
  • Workforce – Regional Skills Leadership Groups (RSLGs) Intent
  • Delivery / Confidence
  • Workforce Development Group
