More About SmartGrowth
The SmartGrowth Way
The SmartGrowth Way
The SmartGrowth Way is a partnership and collaborative approach to spatial planning and growth management for the western Bay of Plenty sub-region.
Key ingredients of the SmartGrowth Way
Voluntary - a coalition of the willing between the regulators and the regulated
Collaborative - planning together
Wider than local government - working with partner forums and the community
Partnership - collaboration means taking time to work through and resolve issues
Harnessing our strengths to build our future
