The inaugural Tauranga Moana Investment Summit, held at Bay Oval yesterday, centred on three ideas: opportunity, confidence and certainty.

It brought together a 200-strong crowd, including local and central government, iwi partners, and leaders in business and education, as well as youth involved in Priority One's Instep Young Leaders programme – a clear signal of collective intent to unlock the region’s potential.

The Western Bay of Plenty Regional Deal was announced just prior, so the Summit kicked off with insights around what this means for the region from keynote speakers Hon Christopher Bishop and Hon. Simon Watts, followed by a range of panels from local experts.

Key takeaways include:

⟫ Investment and capital already exist here – the opportunity is in connecting them. Strong partnerships, particularly with iwi, is critical.

⟫ The Regional Deal has provided tangible public sector investment commitments – we now need to unlock private sector jobs and local procurement opportunities to maximise the value capture from the deal locally.

⟫ Younger voices need a seat at decision-making table. The participation of rangatahi from Priority One’s Instep Young Leaders’ Forum gave an insight into the calibre of talent we have here and the opportunity to nurture it.

⟫ Investing for impact matters. Investing well can shape the future we want for the next generation and beyond.

Our region has the opportunities and the capital, and we now have the confidence and certainty, so we can move forward together. Connect with Priority One if you’d like to learn more.

A new era of growth, certainty, and confidence for the Western Bay.

The Western Bay of Plenty Regional Deal signals a new phase of confidence for one of New Zealand’s fastest-growing sub-regions.

At its core, the Deal delivers what has often been missing: certainty. By aligning central government, local councils, iwi partners, and delivery agencies, it creates a clear, coordinated framework for infrastructure, housing, transport, and investment. For businesses and investors, that clarity matters. It reduces risk, improves sequencing, and provides a stronger foundation for long-term investment. This is not about starting from scratch. It is about scaling existing momentum and ensuring growth is managed, connected and sustainable.
