Approach
We’re using this project to drive local job creation and economic momentum. Up to 300 subcontractors will be on site over the life of the project. This is about securing meaningful work for local tradespeople, suppliers, and businesses across the region.
MCLStead is aiming for 87% of its contract value to be delivered by locally based subtrades and workforce. They will use national suppliers when out-of-region supply and expertise are needed but will enable them to work with local providers for installation. This will upskill the local market and provide further economic benefit to Hawke’s Bay.
