Celebrating 30 Years of Regional Impact

In October 2026, we celebrate 30 years of supporting economic growth, business development and tourism across Taitokerau Northland in partnership with our council shareholders and regional stakeholders.

We are planning a special evening to celebrate our shared journey, acknowledge the contribution of those who have shaped the organisation, and look ahead to the future of regional development and tourism in our region.

We'd love to reconnect during this evening with as many members of our EDA/RTO/Northland NZ whānau as possible.
