Search the land use fact sheets

Developing your whenua can provide economic benefits for your whānau. It can help generate jobs, training opportunities, and income.

If you have aspirations for developing your whenua (if you’re interested in farming, or setting up an orchard, for example) our land use fact sheets can help. They'll show you what kind of industries are successful in your region, and help you understand what you need to get started — like the environmental implications for each industry, and any financial considerations you need to know about. They’re a great resource to use when whānau are ready to start realising the potential of the whenua.
