Horowhenua 2040 Blueprint
The Horowhenua 2040 Blueprint (Blueprint), adopted by Council on 11 May 2022, details 12 action areas Council is committed to improving, with liveability and prosperity at the heart of the work being prioritised.
The actions are wide-ranging and include enabling more affordable housing choices, supporting and enabling iwi aspirations, securing jobs in key sectors, attracting more visitors with a strong district identity, nurturing and promoting a food culture and keeping the district moving.
The Blueprint serves to give effect to the values and aspirations articulated in the Horowhenua 2040 Strategy (H2040) and the suite of supporting Horowhenua District Council strategies, and is essentially the implementation strategy for H2040 and the supporting strategies.
