SmartGrowth Revised Strategy
Since the SmartGrowth Strategy was launched in May 2004, the world (and the western Bay of Plenty) have moved on and a range of actions have been undertaken and completed. We also now have more information, various factors have changed and small inconsistencies in the strategy needed tidying up.
The SmartGrowth strategy and implementation plan was launched by the
Prime Minister the Rt Hon Helen Clark on 14 May 2004. The SmartGrowth
strategy is a growth management strategy to ensure that as the Western
Bay of Plenty grows, it will continue to be a great place to live, work
and play.
