Whakatane is the major service and administration centre for the Eastern Bay of Plenty. Headquarters for the Whakatane District Council, Bay of Plenty Regional Council, Bay of Plenty Electricity, Carter Holt Harvey Packaging and Pacific Health Whakatane. Theatre entertainment and a wide range of restaurant and cafe facilities have contributed to Whakatane’ s lifestyle values. Tourism numbers peak in summer and have a positive effect on the economy of the town. White Island, New Zealand’s only marine volcano, also demands attention along with art, culture, natural history, recreation, and adventure sports.
Forestry towns of Kawerau and Edgecumbe are less than half an hour away. Rotorua and Tauranga are within a 100 kilometres and Hamilton approximately two hours away. Auckland is less than four hours' drive. This puts Whakatane within relatively easy reach of 40% of New Zealand's population. Communications technology decentralising businesses coupled with the baby boomers' coastal drift explains the rapid growth. Increasingly people are choosing to relocate, buy or set up business in Whakatane where life can be enjoyed.
