beef farming are concentrated in the hill country and also play an important part in the regional
economy.
Exotic forest plantations continue to expand, with the region offering a suitable climate, good forestry sites and a
well-established roading system and port facility.
The oil and gas industry is a major contributor to the regional economy. The Taranaki Basin is currently New
Zealand’s only hydrocarbon producing area, with the Kapuni and the offshore Maui fields making up
centralised location. There is the option of creating a High-Performance Sports NZ base with so many sports
grounds in one place and room to develop more such as indoor squash, badminton, and a full-sized pool. This would all be across the road from WITT which would be able to develop courses
for the various sports. By having so many people in one location there are opportunities for businesses to set up food stalls and trucks, even a marketplace on weekends. This would add to the
economy in Taranaki
