Toi-EDA - Eastern Bay of Plenty Regional Economic Development Agency
Toi-EDA is the Eastern Bay of Plenty Regional Economic Development Agency set up by the three territorial authorities (Kawerau, Opotiki and Whakatane) and the regional Council Environment Bay of Plenty, working together with local iwi.
With the recent adoption of an ambitious three year strategic plan, Toi-EDA has a strong focus on its vision of enhancing the Eastern Bay of Plenty’s economic growth and resultant wealth for its people.
The trust structure of Toi-EDA is designed to overcome previous problems with obtaining government funding. It is run by talented professionals with years of experience with the Eastern Bay of Plenty Development Board.
Toi-EDA plays an important role in the new Bay of Plenty regional partnership and acts as a conduit in the Eastern Bay of Plenty for further central government economic development funding.
The organisation operates under the umbrella of a wider BOP partnership with two other groups under it, Tauranga’s Priority One and the Rotorua District Council. Toi-EDA maintains good working relationships with immediate neighbours – Tauranga and Rotorua.
