Economic Development Strategy

North Shore City Council follows the 2006 Economic Development Strategy as it manages the city's growth

This strategy aims to grow and develop the North Shore City economy to create sustainable wealth and quality of life for all, while protecting and respecting our environment. Although the strategy touches on the interwoven aspects of social, cultural and environmental well-being, it is focused on economic well-being.

The Vision

In 2020 North Shore City will be a world-class business setting that is recognised domestically and internationally as a sustainable centre of business excellence.

It will have a self-sufficient economy with growth built around its strengths:
• finance and business services
• information and communications technology
• niche manufacturing
• education
• health
• retail
• sport and leisure.

The city will have highvalue, high-skill and job-rich enterprises that are innovative and sustainable, focusing on exporting.

A life-long learning pathway to ensure residents have relevant local education and work opportunities will support it.

The Council will work in partnership with government agencies, the community, Iwi and commercial organisations to achieve city-wide economic development objectives.

There will be consistent regulatory processes, a world-class telecommunications platform and high quality infrastructure and planning.

Underpinning the City’s success will be a series of town centres that each makes a signifi cant contribution to the distinctive identity of North Shore City.

Vibrant and diverse lifestyle centres where entertainment and a range of lifestyle choices ‘outside of work’ complement the business success.
