Strategic Plan
Below is a summary of the Strategic Plan developed in 2018, reviewed by the Board in 2026 and which informs the activities and work plans of HBW.
The Board continues to strengthen its governance and strategic direction with a focus on ensuring the Association remains responsive to the changing needs of our members and the wider wine community.
A Strategy Reset Day was held in February 2026 and provided an opportunity to review priorities, reflect on the challenges and opportunities facing HBW and establish a clear direction for the coming years. From this our Strategic Dashboard for the year end 30 June 2027 was developed.
