An outcome is something that a community thinks is important for its future well-being.
Council’s community outcomes role is to:
Run the process for the community to identify outcomes
Work with many people and groups in the community to make the outcomes happen
Monitor how the community is progressing towards making the outcomes happen
Outcomes belong to the community, not to the council. Council does not adopt the outcomes in the same way that it adopts its other plans and policies.
Ten Year Plan
Our 2006-2016 Ten Year Plan shows how Council will work with other organisations over the next ten years to achieve the vision identified through the community outcomes process by the Bay of Plenty community.
The Local Government Act 2002 requires all councils to run a process to identify community outcomes for their communities. Environment Bay of Plenty has worked in partnership with the local councils and other organisations in our region to run outcomes processes. The Regional Community Outcomes are a result of these processes. They will be included in the 2006 Long Term Council Community Plan.
The regional outcomes cover different parts of our lives:
- Social
- Environmental
- Economic
- Cultural
The outcomes will help us all create the future we want to enjoy.
