Recovery Intel Report

COVID-19 has brought considerable change to our district in a very short period of time. While we are all in the throes of what this means for us, our whānau and friends, and our workplaces, it is important to keep looking ahead to how we can plan for our district’s future.

The Recovery Intel Report tells the story of our district pre-COVID-19, the impact of the Level 4 lockdown and the emerging impact in relation to economic predictions. This will include data from the latest Quality of Life survey and further insights regarding specific topics, such as filled jobs. The September 2022 report will be the final update of data.
