As well as an in-depth focus on local wood processing, we are diversifying our direct investment portfolio and developing a wide-ranging pipeline of initiatives. Each investment aligns with our strategic priorities. We are partnering with business owners and regional and government agencies to support innovation, help create employment, and build our economy.
The Wood Processing Cluster is the Trust’s most significant direct investment, one that has the long-term potential to boost the regional economy, open up new applications for locally grown wood, and continue creating employment opportunities.
The Trust’s Feasibility Fund enables research to assess the viability and potential success of projects that aspire to benefit communities and economic growth in Tairāwhiti. We also consider direct investment opportunities that align with our strategic priorities and will lead to transformational outcomes for Tairāwhiti.
