Revitalising the South

Thank you for joining us at Revitalising the South – A Conversation on Leadership, Growth & Regional Resilience. And to those who couldn’t make it, we appreciate your continued interest and support.

It was a privilege to gather in Ōtepoti with so many of you from across the Southern Region — bringing together local leaders, government, and industry to reflect on where we are now, and what it will take to move forward.

The message was clear:

• Our region is ready.

• The opportunities are real.

• And through partnership, we can accelerate delivery.

A few key points from the evening

Hon. James Meager, Minister for the South Island, reaffirmed government’s commitment to unlocking regional potential — from transport and housing to enabling faster investment decisions.
