Project Kōkiri (as it was called at the time) was set up as the Nelson Tasman economic development collaboration - an action and insights-orientated taskforce backed by Nelson City Council, Tasman District Council, Mana Whenua, Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce, Nelson Regional Development Agency and the regionally based government agencies.
The defining purpose of the collaboration was to ensure that the region had a well-organised and coordinated economic response across all agencies and stakeholders that could complement the health and social responses being undertaken. The Project Kōkiri group developed the Nelson Tasman Economic Response & Regeneration Action Plan which was released in June 2020.
That plan focused on response activity to cushion the immediate economic impact of COVID-19 and to support a coordinated response across government, local government, mana whenua and the business community.
The 2023 Nelson Tasman Insights report presents the findings of the 2023 Nelson Tasman Business Survey, together with data from other sources, to provide a snapshot of the business environment in Nelson Tasman.
