The Tauranga Round Table


Tomorrow's visit by Helen Clark and leading Ministers to attend the Western Bay of Plenty Economic Development Forum in Tauranga provides a good opportunity to address some key long-term concerns for the region.

I am attending the Tertiary Education and Research and Development Workshop. It is being chaired by Dr Michael Cullen. I cannot think of a single non-physical infrastructure issue more important for the Bay.

I believe there are solutions to this issue, but they require the input of both the public and the private sectors. Tomorrow's Economic Development Forum is I hope just the first step in that process.
