It shows a hierarchy, with each level in the framework consistent with, and working towards achieving the higher level outcomes. Council’s Strategic Framework is also a tool for Council to communicate with the community about Council’s priorities for investment.
This Strategic Framework has been developed through:
- A review of the Strategic Framework for the 2021-31 Long Term Plan.
- Understanding key trends and the current environment Council is operating within.
- Workshops with Elected Members.
The key to successful implementation of our strategic framework is relationships. Council has wide networks of relationships to build from and strengthen as we work collaboratively to deliver the best possible future for our communities.
In implementing this strategic framework and building these relationships, Council will act in accordance with our organisation values, Ngā Pou. These values reflect our shared commitment to having a positive impact on our community.
- Manaakitanga: The customer is at the centre of everything we do.
- Rangatiratanga: We aspire to the highest standards.
- Whakapono: We strive to be trusting and trustworthy.
- Whanaungatanga: We act with courage, respect, kindness and empathy.
- Kotahitanga: We embrace diversity and strive to be inclusive.
- Aroha: We believe in and encourage each other.
One of the biggest challenges in setting and implementing Council’s strategic direction is affordability of rates. While there are many activities and projects which Council would ideally like to provide for our community, the low number of ratepayers and high-cost of core infrastructure projects limits what can be achieved through this long term plan.
