New pathways to a thriving future: Queenstown Lakes Draft Economic Diversification Plan

Feedback has now closed. 

A Draft Economic Diversification Plan.

Our Economic Development Unit has been working closely with local businesses and industry experts to develop this draft plan. It has been created with local communities and businesses, for future generations.

Why is it important we diversify our economy? 

A diversified range of businesses, jobs and exports spread across more industries will result in a community that is more able to withstand disruptions. Diversification will not only offer future options for our young people but will foster new career and income opportunities for everyone.

There are a variety of local businesses and individuals already creating income streams outside of the norm, as well as formal and informal groups leading activities to build a more sustainable, diverse, and productive economy.

The Draft Economic Diversification Plan, New pathways to a thriving future, seeks to further support the diversification work already happening across the district, working towards the goal of a resilient and sustainable economy offering a diverse range of career and income opportunities by 2050.

What’s in the plan? 

There is much to do to create a resilient and sustainable economy that offers a diverse range of career and income opportunities by 2050.

The pillars and projects provide a snapshot of the plan, on a single page. For more detailed information on the keystone projects, strategic pillars, objectives, and projects proposed, read the draft plan in full using the widget link on the right.
