The Rodney District embraces economic development.
It welcomes business ventures and development proposals that will make positive contributions to the community’s economic, social and environmental future.
The Council's 10 year strategy for Economic Development is included in the Long Term Council Community Plan 2009-2019.
In June 2009 the Council adopted a 3 year implementation plan for 
Economic Development. This document aligns to the LTCCP and provides a list of priorities and actions planned to support businesses through the slow economic period and to accelerate economic growth. You can view this document here.
The Council funds the Rodney Economic Development Trust and is an active member of the Auckland Regional Economic Development Strategy (AREDS).
