Waikato progress indicators – Tupuranga Waikato: Summary update June 2020

This document summarises latest results from the Waikato Progress Indicators (WPI) – Tupuranga Waikato monitoring programme, updated in May 2020. The WPI is an online dashboard of 32 environmental, social, cultural and economic indicators.

The WPI is a long-term initiative that does not yet capture any impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. This will be available in the 2021 annual update.

The WPI dashboard provides an overview of the economic, social, cultural and environmental wellbeing of the Waikato region and helps gauge progress towards Waikato Regional Council’s (WRC’s) Strategic Direction. Selected measures relevant to Council’s activities are included in WRC's annual report.

The data and website information are refreshed annually. See the link under 'Related pages'.

This update compares the latest available data for each of the WPI indicators with 2006-07 baseline results, enabling regional progress to be assessed over more than a decade.
