The North Wales Strategic Well-being Sub-Committee is responsible for making key decisions related to economic development initiatives within the region. It oversees the approval of Outline Business Cases (OBCs) and Full Business Cases (FBCs) for projects within the Growth Deal portfolio, ensuring that proposed initiatives meet the necessary criteria for funding. Additionally, the sub-committee holds the authority to approve funding agreements and variations to them when necessary.

The sub-committee is composed of voting members, including six Local Authority Leaders, as well as co-opted non-voting members from key advisory bodies, such as representatives from the private sector, regional colleges, universities, and the Eryri National Park Authority. This group plays a vital role in monitoring and guiding the economic strategy for North Wales, ensuring effective allocation of resources for the region's economic well-being​.
