Council’s Strategic Framework

Council has developed, with input from our communities, strategies and plans which set out the vision, objectives, directions and actions to achieve outcomes for specific issues or areas, and to meet the current and future needs of our community.

Collectively, these strategic documents contribute towards achieving Waimakariri’s Community Outcomes, which are high-level, long-term goals identified by our communities to improve wellbeing for now and the future. Our strategies and plans also respond to Council’s Strategic Priorities, which are the key issues Council wants to address during its term. Both, the Community Outcomes and Strategic Priorities are articulated in the Council’s Long Term Plan. Directions identified in our strategies and plans are then delivered through a range of implementation tools.

Together, all of this makes up our Waimakariri Strategic Framework :

They do not sit in isolation however but have many strategic crossovers with each other. National and (sub)regional policy directions also provide important context for each.
