The way we work
Focused work guided by strategy
We deliver a focused annual work programme based on four strategic pillars. These pillars integrate council strategies into our daily work, ensuring targeted activities with our communities, partners, and investors.
Our work aligns with the socio-economic priorities of the Waikato 2070 Growth and Development Strategy and our community aspirations and blueprints.
Our investor service is agile and focused on navigating the complexities of community engagement, infrastructure development, regulatory process and attracting a skilled local workforce.
With over 11,000 businesses operating in the Waikato district, our team is dedicated to supporting business growth and sustainability through targeted programmes for local businesses.
