Opportunities
The Hauraki District Council has identified the hospitality, retail, aged care, aquaculture, dairy, and transport industries as the key business opportunities. Beaches, mountains and trails are easily within reach, as the Hauraki District stretches from the beaches of Kaiaua and Pukorokoro/Miranda along the Firth of Thames in Tikapa Moana (the Hauraki Gulf) to the white sandy beaches of Whiritoa. The reclaimed dairy lands of the Hauraki Plains are between the two coasts.
Hauraki District’s vibrant business community includes small family businesses through to large exporters. Its biggest industry contributors to economic growth by GDP are mining, and agriculture, forestry and fishing. Historically, dairy farming has been the principal type of agriculture within the Hauraki District.
