The aim of Matariki, launched in 2016, is to ensure that: ‘Every household and every whānau is actively engaged in, contributing to and benefiting from, a thriving Hawke's Bay economy’. Put together after an extensive consultation process, the multi-agency approach means a broad reach across all sectors can be achieved, providing the best chances of success.
