Nelson Regional Development
Agency Update
Nelson Regional Development Agency
Chairperson, Mr John Palmer and Chief Executive Mr Mark Rawson gave a
presentation (A1860282). They noted the strong focus on the visitor and
tourism sector to date. The focus would now turn to the economics
of the region and the growth strategy. In regard to an Events Strategy
for the region, they noted this was separately funded by Nelson City Council,
however there was a benefit beyond the city to the wider region. In
response to a question, Mr Rawson confirmed that the Events Strategy would
focus on an investment base over the ‘shoulder period’ of the
tourism season.
Attendance: Cr Wensley joined
the meeting at 9.18am.. She tendered Cr Canton’s apology for
non-attendance.
Attendance: Cr King joined the
meeting at 9.27am.
Attendance: Cr Sangster joined the
meeting at 9.30am.
In terms of the web presence, Mr
Rawson confirmed there would be a strong social and digital focus.
Mr Rawson confirmed that NRDA was
working closely with Uniquely Nelson, however, the NRDA focus was the
wider Nelson Tasman community, with a push out to the international market,
where Uniquely Nelson was focussed on the Nelson CBD.
Mr Palmer spoke briefly about NRDA
budgets and limitations of resources. He stated that the NRDA Board had
considered the Waimea Community Dam, and there would be a position taken by the
Board in regard to the Dam, however due to a conflict of interest Mr Palmer
would not be taking any part in that discussion or decision.
