With the Local Government Community Well-being Amendment Bill now reported back to the House, Taituarā is proceeding to ready the sector for its role in promoting and reporting on community well-being. Drawing on both national and international work, this will be your opportunity to contribute to the development of a Well-being Indicators Framework for use in the 2019 Chief Executive Pre-Election reports and the 2021-2031 LTP round. Even if your council has not yet initiated any formal work in this area, you will still have an important contribution to make to the development of the Well-being Indicators Framework.
9. 30am Welcome from the Facilitator
9.35am NZ leading the way again? What have other countries been doing?
Pim Borren, Principal Economist, Taituarā
Taituarā has done a review of the progress and practice of other countries with respect to community well-being and you might just be interested to find out where we sit compared to others.
10.00am What the Government is doing with Well-being and why?
Hon Nanaia Mahuta
You’ve all heard that the Community Well-being Bill is making its way through the House. Hear from Hon Nanaia Mahuta why the purpose of local government is being expanded and what the government’s expectation of local government will be regarding community well-being.
10.30am Morning Tea
11.00am Three councils’ approach to well-being
A city, a district and a regional council talk about what they’ve been doing in the Well-being space.
You may be interested in doing something but didn’t know where to start or thought that it would cost too much or even thought it was for other communities and not yours. In this session your colleagues from around the country will take you on their journey, what they did, what they found out, how they have used the information on well-being to engage and work with their communities. There will be plenty of time for questions.
12.00 Noon The Living Standards Framework
Tony Burton, Deputy Chief Economic Advisor, Treasury
What is the work that Treasury has been progressing, and how will the LSF relate to community well-being?
12.30pm “Stats, more stats and damn lies…”
Eleisha Hawkins, Office of the Government Statistician and Chief Executive Stats NZ Tatauranga Aotearoa and Project Executive, Indicators Aotearoa NZ & John Morris, Senior Advisor, Indicators Aotearoa New Zealand
Indicators Aotearoa New Zealand is being developed by Stats NZ as a source of measures for New Zealand’s well-being. The set of indicators will go beyond economic measures, such as gross domestic product (GDP), to include well-being and sustainable development. The indicators will assist the work of Treasury and may impact on your work too.
1.00pm Lunch
1.45pm Making this real – a draft framework for community well-being
Taituarā Well-being Advisory Group
Taituarā set up an Advisory Group to identify how well-being might be articulated and measured from a local perspective, rather than a cutdown version of a national framework. Taking a ground up approach, the group will present their early thinking on how you might want to conceptualise well-being for your community,
2.30pm Making this really real
Workshop
In this interactive workshop you will be invited to comment on the draft framework and then work to refine the indicators and templates into a form that would be not just useful but usable for your council.
3.45pm Wrap up and next steps
Karen Thomas, Chief Executive, Taituarā
This short session will pull together the day’s work and map out where to next, including what might be expected from the sector and how you will be able to deliver on that.
The workshop will conclude at 4.00 pm
