ABOUT US | MŌ TATOU

Matariki, Hawke’s Bay Regional Development Strategy for economic, inclusive and sustainable growth, is governed by a Governance Group and an Executive Steering Group. These groups have been formed to acknowledge the cross-sector partnerships and to provide the leadership required to support economic, inclusive and sustainable outcomes for the Hawke’s Bay region. 

We recognise that sustainable economic development across our region is made possible when we combine health, social, cultural, environmental and business initiatives.
