Who we are | Strategies and action plans
Economic Development Strategy
The Kāpiti Coast District Economic Development Strategy was adopted by Council in 2025. It's our local economy's blueprint, showing us the way to a bustling and vibrant community. This strategy brings everyone together to make sure we're all on board for boosting economic development across the Kāpiti Coast District.
Action Plans
Workforce Plan
Our Workforce Plan is the guide for cultivating a strong and competitive team to fuel our local economy. It's about strategising how we can attract, develop, and retain the talent we need to stay ahead of the game. By digging into our current and future workforce needs, we're able to identify skill gaps and shortages, paving the way for targeted training, educational pathways, and support services. It's all about laying the groundwork for success.
Destination Management Plan
The Destination Management Plan looks at how we should manage all aspects of our district that contribute to a visitor’s experience and attract more visitors to our district. Drawing on extensive engagement with iwi, local partners, and sector stakeholders, and research by Colmar Brunton, the plan provides a strategic framework and over 60 key actions to help increase the number of visitors to the Kāpiti Coast, their length of stay and their ability to spend more while here.
Food and Beverage Game Plan
Kāpiti's Food and Beverage Game Plan is a comprehensive strategy aimed at elevating the culinary landscape of the Kāpiti Coast. Designed to celebrate the region's diverse flavours and culinary talents, this plan is all about fostering growth and innovation within the local food and beverage industry. Through collaboration, innovation, and a shared passion for great food and drink, the plan aims to position the region as a premier destination for food lovers near and far.
Wellington Regional Economic Development Plan
The Wellington Regional Economic Development Plan launched in 2022 after iwi, business groups, Te Matarau a Māui (Māori Economic Development group), sector groups, place-based groups, and all ten councils in the Wellington Region came together to create a plan to drive high-impact economic initiatives over a ten-year period. It is led by the Wellington Regional Leadership Committee.
