Tapuae Roa is the regional economic development strategy and action plan for Taranaki, with focus on growing the talent and entrepreneurial mindsets, skills and capabilities of the wider Taranaki community as the foundation of a truly modern economy. The Tapuae Roa action plan was released in 2018.

The Taranaki 2050 Roadmap was initially launched at the Just Transitions Summit in New Plymouth in May 2019 and sets out a vision for Taranaki in the low-emission economy of the future. The Roadmap was co-designed by the region, for the region, and considers not just how our economy will change, but all other aspects of our lives, and provides the opportunity to plan for inclusive growth. Twelve transition pathway action plans were developed from September 2019 to June 2020.
