Building a Better Bay

'Building a Better Bay' describes the communities of the region and outlines the various ways local government works together to achieve our collective vision for better business in the Bay of Plenty.

The common theme of the 27 stories in this publication is the value of collaboration to achieve 'more for less'. You will see many great examples of how this is happening around the region, including stories specific to the South Waikato District Council. These are on the following pages:

• Page 52 - Economic Growth Accelerator
• Page 64 - Tokoroa Trade Training Centre
• Page 88 - Council account manager for new business investment
• Page 94 - South Waikato Medical Hub
• Page 104 - Standardised Bylaws for Waikato Councils
• If you are interested in looking at a comparison across all district councils in the area, across all services and activities, funding, costs etc, there is an article entitled 'We are more than just numbers' on page 23.
