New Zealand's exporters are seeing success, with the total value of exports adding up to $8.9bn in May. 

This is a rise of $1.4bn from last year, and red meat is the biggest driver. It's jumped 43% year on year - with frozen beef being particularly successful. 

Beef and Lamb Chair Kate Acland told Heather du Plessis-Allan that the success is due to a combination of factors. 

"High demand, low supply, and I think, you know, I have to say it is supported by a low Kiwi dollar at the moment."

Wellington Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive Hayley Horan told Mike Hosking businesses want a more vibrant city and are now feeling like they're at the table.  

She says the years of reviews and re-scopes have been exhausting, so having a decision beats another year of limbo.
