KARAKIA TIMATANGA

Whakataka te hau ki te uru

Whakataka te hau ki te tonga

Kia mākinakina ki uta

Kia mātaratara ki tai

E hī ake ana te atakura

He tio, he huka, he hau hū

Tīhei mauri ora!

Cease the winds from the west

Cease the winds from the south

Let the breeze blow over the land

Let the breeze blow over the ocean

Let the red-tipped dawn come with a sharpened air.

A touch of frost, a promise of a glorious day.

2.     Recommendation

2.1     That Report Community Wellbeing Dashboard Report be received.

2.2     That this matter or decision be recognised as not significant in terms of s76 of the Local Government Act 2002.

 

3.     Background/Previous Council Decisions

3.1     The Community Wellbeing Committee meets quarterly to review and monitor the progress of the Community Wellbeing Strategy and overall community wellbeing.

3.2     At their meeting on 22 May, the Committee endorsed a new set of terms of reference which was later adopted by Council. The purpose of the changes to the terms of reference was to better align the work of the Committee with the desired outcomes following a Committee workshop in March 2024. The updated terms of reference also clearly outline what reports and information the Committee will receive during their meetings and these include:

·     A Community Wellbeing Dashboard

·     A Community Wellbeing Strategy Monitoring Report.

3.3     For the purposes of this report, when discussed with the Committee, the intention of the Community Wellbeing Dashboard Report was to:

·     At a high level, get a sense of what the community is currently experiencing.

·     Enable the Committee to actively monitor any trends that may require the Committee to pivot or realign its focus.

·     Provide an opportunity for the Committee to identify future priority discussions and presentations that the Committee may wish to hear and see to allow for further action and work programming.

3.4     At their meeting on 12 June 2024, Council adopted He Hapori Pakari Strong Communities – Community Wellbeing Strategy 2024-2027. The Strategy has identified a number of refreshed community priorities and subsequent action plan to address those priority areas. Additionally, a Strategy Plan on the Page was also developed which outlines at a high level the different areas, actions, who’s responsible and also key indicators to assist with measuring success.

 

4.     Community Wellbeing Dashboard

4.1     In Appendix 1 to this report is a proposed Community Wellbeing Dashboard template for your consideration in which officers are seeking feedback to ensure that it is fit for purpose for the Committee and will provide enough information to enable meaningful and robust discussion.

4.2     Officers in developing this dashboard have attempted to replicate the Horowhenua Economic Dashboard that Mayor Bernie showed as an example to the Community Wellbeing Committee during their workshop held in March 2024.

4.3     It should be noted that officers have simply created the layout, and included some suggested areas of interest that incorporate the key indicators from the Strategy Plan on a Page as well as key data and trends from across each of the Community Wellbeing priority areas. Officers are of the view that six quadrants are sufficient and as a result does not create too much information that is difficult to interpret.

4.4     Officers are seeking feedback and discussion from the Committee to accompany this report at their meeting. In particular, officers are interested in the following questions that can assist in ensuring that the dashboard is fit for purpose and can assist the Committee in their work programming.

·     Do we have the format and layout correct which will allow the Committee to decide on what subject matter can fill each quadrant?

·     Right now, understanding the priorities of the Community Wellbeing Strategy, how should we populate each quadrant? Noting that some examples have been provided to give guidance to the Committee.

·     We’ll need the Committee's help to populate the correct data. What can your agency, organisation or group contribute to help build the dashboard each quarter?
