What we do
WellingtonNZ is here to make the Wellington region thrive as a place to live, visit, study, work, do business, and invest.
Destination Pōneke
Destination Pōneke is the Wellington Destination Management Plan 2021 to 2031. It provides a roadmap for how Wellington develops as a visitor destination. It’s about enhancing aspects of our city, so Wellington continues to be a great place to live, work, study and visit — and is ready for future change.

Opportunities for Impact Through Procurement
The Māori economy is key to the wellbeing of Māori and is an important contributor to the economy of the greater Wellington region. In our role as a regional economic development agency, we seek to support a thriving regional economy for all. Part of this is ensuring there is equitable access to the system through procurement opportunities.
This report is the result of a piece of work by Puna Awarau, commissioned by WellingtonNZ. It aimed to understand the procurement ecosystem, and identify opportunities to support greater access in the region. To begin to understand the landscape of procurement, Puna Awarau interviewed Māori suppliers with lived experiences of procurement. They also interviewed a small group of conscious buyers who are implementing new ways of operating, to support greater access.
The Opportunities for Impact Through Procurement report is the result of this research. It’s the first step in providing insights and identifying opportunities for impact across four key themes (collaboration, capability, support, and action).
WellingtonNZ intends to use the report to explore ways to support and grow businesses in the region, alongside value-aligned partners.
Wellington Regional Economic Development Plan
This plan aims to guide the long-term direction of the economy and will help drive high-impact economic initiatives over the next 10 years.
It sets out the strategic direction, issues and opportunities, and guides where funding and support should go.
It’s about future-proofing the region and making sure it thrives economically. But also about ensuring Wellington is a great place for everyone to live, including our Māori and Pasifika communities. It also aims to improve wellbeing and quality of life.
