Implementing the plan
Working together
The journey toward a sustainable city will involve engagement with the
communities of Auckland, including the business and development sectors, key
institutions and stakeholder organisations. The need for a coordinated programme
of engagement across all sectors of the Auckland community was one of the key
components of the advice provided by the
Mayoral Task Force on Sustainable
Development.
It will also require that we work with other councils and advocate effectively
to central government the importance of their role in achieving a sustainable
future for the city and the region.
Three-year programme of action
Implementation of this plan is underway as part of a three year programme of
action, focussing mainly on short-term targets and supported by resources
targeted toward implementing the plan.
This will result in a definable and measurable shift in organisational culture
with regard to sustainability, such that it becomes a part of our day-to-day
business.
Many of the relevant actions are already well underway within the organisation.
Monitoring and reporting progress
As we move forward, we will provide a full picture of progress towards the goals
and targets set out in Keeping Auckland's Future Bright with an expanded
monitoring and reporting programme encompassing the organisation and the city.
This will demonstrate to Aucklanders that their efforts are making a difference
and will enable meaningful comparisons with other cities both within and outside
of New Zealand.
Monitoring and reporting the implementation of this plan will involve two main
processes:
- reporting on total performance for the organisation, and the effectiveness of
its policies and programmes, as part of the annual report
- a state-of-the-city report covering economic, environmental, social and
cultural dimensions.
