What's your Wellington future?
We've developed a draft strategy to enhance how Wellingtonian's can live, work and play in the city.

Wellington is a dynamic city with a resilient, innovative, and low carbon economy that provides opportunities for all and protects our environment.

About the Strategy

Over the past two years, we've seen significant changes to the way we work. Working from home is changing visitation and spending habits, while border closures have exacerbated staff shortages, and the global impact is affecting supply chains. This has placed many businesses under pressure and compelled many people to think about how we live and how we do business.

While we have ambitious economic goals for Wellington, we are conscious that we need to set a clear and specific direction. This draft strategy identifies six strategic outcomes for the city to focus on for the next 10 years.

• Sustainable business and career pathways
• Transitioning to a circular economy
• A business-friendly city
• Centre of creativity and digital innovation
• Celebrate our Capital City status
• A dynamic city heart and thriving suburban centres

Pandemic Response Plan

While the Economic Wellbeing Strategy is about recovery, moving us through the next 5-10 years, we are conscious of the immediate need to support local business. Our Pandemic Response Plan(External link) can be found on the Wellington City Council website.
