Council's New Strategic Direction

The Council's strategic architecture has an overall vision of Creative Wellington - Innovation Capital: to create global competitive advantage.

Supporting that are 13 outcomes that describe the type of city that Council wants to achieve over the next ten years.

The detail of what these outcomes mean, and what we plan to achieve, is contained in seven strategies below:

A key input to these strategies has been the development of a set of community outcomes that express a wider vision for the city that many agencies, including the Council, will contribute to.

The reasons for adopting this new structure are to make the Council's strategic direction-setting more:

  • Coherent - at the moment Council has many strategies and policies, at various levels and reviewed at various times therefore this structure is much simpler and more understandable
  • Directional - having a clear sense of what we want to achieve, and particularly priorities that indicate where change will occur
  • Linked to other planning - especially the 2006-2016 Long-Term Council Community Plan (LTCCP) where resource allocation decisions are made. The process provides a direct linkage to the LTCCP and will allow a 3-year cycle of review.

Council strategies are intended to assist Councillors and staff in their decisions making processes, to ensure that all Council policies, projects, investments and activities contribute to making the city a better place to live, work and play. The strategies contain a set of 23 priorities which are areas for special focus over the first three years of the new LTCCP.

The LTCCP took effect on 1 July 2006.
