Strategic Refresh Update

Department: Corporate Policy

 

 

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1          The purpose of this report is to update the Strategy, Planning and Engagement Committee on the progress of the Strategic Refresh project (the Strategic Refresh), and outlines the next phase  of the Strategy Refresh work programme.

2          The report summarises key milestones achieved since the update report to Council in September 2022.

3          A schedule of Councillor workshops is provided as Appendix A.

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Committee:

a)         Notes the Strategic Refresh Update Report

BACKGROUND

4          The existing Strategic Framework (the wheel) incorporates eight high-level strategies. The wheel is underpinned by Council’s commitment to the Treaty of Waitangi and the principle of sustainability.

5          The key strategies were developed with community and stakeholders over a period of approximately eight years. The first strategy, the Three Waters Strategic Direction Statement was adopted in 2010. The last, the Parks and Recreation Strategy was completed in 2017.


 

6          A review by consultants Harrison Grierson in 2020 found that:

·    There was no formal governance or oversight of the wheel

·    That the principles of sustainability and the Treaty of Waitangi were not clearly defined

·    That there was no consistency in prioritising, implementing, measuring, and reporting on the principles across the strategies

·    That the wheel lacked alignment and did not capture all of the DCC’s strategic activities

·    That the DCC’s current strategic framework wheel needed to be refreshed

 

7          Separately, the Local Government (Community Wellbeing) Amendment Act (2019) restored the promotion of ‘social, economic, environmental, and cultural wellbeing of communities’ to the statutory purpose as defined in the Local Government Act 2002. However, the four wellbeings were not clearly defined within the Act.

8          The wheel does include four wellbeing strategies (Ara Toi Otepoti – our Creative future, Te Ao Tūroa, Economic Development Strategy and Dunedin’s Social Wellbeing Strategy), but they are not embedded across all strategic documents or operational activities. Refreshing the four wellbeing strategies was identified as essential. The development of a Māori Strategic Framework (MSF) to give effect to Council’s commitment to the Treaty of Waitangi was also identified as essential.

9          In September 2020, Council considered options for a consistent approach to sustainability in the refresh of the DCC’s Strategic Framework. Council approved the development of the City Portrait for development and adaptation. The Council resolved as follows:

Moved (Cr Steve Walker/Cr Christine Garey):

That the Council:

a)    Considers the sustainability frameworks set out in the report, and

b)    Approves development of the City Portrait framework for development and adaptation.

Division

The Council voted by division:

For: Crs Sophie Barker, David Benson-Pope, Christine Garey, Doug Hall, Mike Lord, Jim O'Malley, Chris Staynes, Steve Walker and Mayor Aaron Hawkins (9).

Against: Crs Rachel Elder, Jules Radich, Lee Vandervis and Andrew Whiley (4).

Abstained: Nil

The division was declared CARRIED by 9 votes to 4

Motion carried (CNL/2020/072)


 

10        In December 2020, an update report on the Strategic Refresh was presented to Council.

11        In May 2021, the report ‘Thriving Cities City Portrait: Progressing the Strategic Framework Refresh’ was presented to Council. The Council voted by division to approve the implementation of the Strategic Framework Refresh project plan.

Moved (Cr Steve Walker/Cr Christine Garey):

That the Council:

b) Approves implementation of the Strategic Framework Refresh project plan.

Division

The Council voted by division:

For: Crs Sophie Barker, David Benson-Pope, Rachel Elder, Christine Garey, Carmen Houlahan, Marie Laufiso, Jim O'Malley, Steve Walker and Mayor Aaron Hawkins (9).

Against: Crs Mike Lord, Jules Radich, Lee Vandervis and Andrew Whiley (4).

Abstained: Nil

The division was declared CARRIED by 9 votes to 4

Motion carried (CNL/2021/078)

12        In December 2021, a further update report was presented to Council on the Strategic Framework Refresh Programme.

13        The most recent update to Council was in September 2022, which included a proposed draft ‘refreshed’ Strategic Framework (the weave).

“Moved (Mayor Aaron Hawkins/Cr Christine Garey): That the Council:

Notes the Strategic Refresh update and the ‘refreshed draft’ Strategic Framework.

Motion carried (CNL/2022/065) with Cr Vandervis recording his vote against.

 

14        The draft weave framework has been a useful conceptually as a visual to reimagine strategic alignment. The weave has also been useful in making visible key strategic components that will support Council to deliver improved wellbeing to all Dunedin residents, whilst providing clarity of alignment across operational activities. Recent Council feedback was used to produce this updated version of the weave.

DISCUSSION

Strategic Refresh Update

15        Staff have developed a high level online dashboard to provide clear updates on the Strategic Refresh project. An overview of this is included below.

Table 1: High level summary of review of wellbeing strategies, and development of new strategies.

16        As set out in the previous Council report in September 2022, the Harrison Grierson Project plan has been integrated in the work programme and the original milestones remain relevant such as; developing a schedule of Councillor workshops and updated reports, continual alignment across the work streams and education opportunities for staff teams.

17        In addition to the Harrison Grierson Project plan, wellbeing and engagement was also included as new work areas in response to the Future for Local Government review which proposed strengthening the legislation related to the Treaty of Waitangi and wellbeing.

18        The original timeline in the Harrison Grierson Project plan was not achievable as the periods were too short to engage with mana whenua and the wider community, and it  did not take into account the impacts of Covid-19.

19        The timing of the project going forward takes into account other Council related work and the 10 Year Plan 2024-34.

20        A high level update on each of the work streams that form the Strategic Refresh Project is summarised below.

Key Points

Refreshing the existing strategies

22        In undertaking the review of the DCC’s existing strategies, staff have been mindful of the legislative reforms from Central Government. This has included, but not limited to, the reform of the Resource Management Act including the forthcoming Climate Adaptation Bill, the 3 Waters reform, as well as the Future for Local Government review.

23        The wheel includes four strategies that focus on community wellbeing and four statutory strategies that relate to critical services delivered by Council. Across these eight strategies, objectives include both long term visionary goals for the city, as well as short to medium outputs related to delivering operational activities. This has resulted in various indicators and measures, that are not aligned, are disconnected and do not clearly indicate progress over time.

24        The focus has been on analysing and refreshing the four strategies that are related to wellbeing (Economic Development Strategy, Ara Toi, Te Ao Tūroa, and Dunedin’s Social Wellbeing). This has involved an in-depth audit of each strategy, analysing strengths and weaknesses in relation to wellbeing, and identifying areas of improvement.

25        In refreshing the remaining strategies, it has been important to keep in mind the potential impacts of the reforms as well as the statutory requirements related to strategies that have national significance such as the Transport, Spatial and 3 Waters Strategies.  These specific strategies have been reviewed in relation to the Treaty of Waitangi and Sustainability and have helped to inform the City Portrait work. The Spatial Strategy is also being refreshed as part of the Future Development Strategy work.


 

Workshop Programme

26        A combined Councillor and ELT workshop programme has been developed. The rationale for these workshops is so that ELT and Council can consider and give feedback on the development of the wellbeing strategies together. This will provide an opportunity for a combined governance and operational perspective. This in turn will help to strengthen the process and provide guidance on the Strategic Refresh work programme. Please see Appendix One for a list of scheduled workshops.

Summary of Wellbeing and City Portrait work

27        A summary overview of the Wellbeing and City Portrait work has been prepared and will be provided prior to the workshop programme.

28        This summary will include a review of national, international, and indigenous wellbeing research and frameworks, and a comparison of how other cities are developing wellbeing strategies to drive their work and assess impacts.  The Wellbeing Summary includes a high level review of the existing wellbeing strategies. DCC have attended the regional wellbeing working group, led by the Otago Regional Council. Collaboration with this group has also helped to foster a shared understanding of wellbeing. In addition, The City Portrait Summary includes a review of existing strategies and a high level summary of what the DCC is currently measuring as it relates to the ecological ceiling. 

OPTIONS

29        As this is a report for noting, there are no options.

NEXT STEPS

30        Combined Councillor and ELT workshop programme is scheduled to start in May.

31        Community Engagement is an essential part of the Strategic Refresh. This will begin in August and September once the Councillor and ELT workshops are complete. The focus is to learn from the community and provide opportunities for the community to shape the refreshed strategies.

32        Update reports to Strategy, Planning and Engagement Committee will follow the Council and ELT workshops with the provision of the Strategic Refresh engagement plan. A further update report is planned following community engagement.

Māori Impact Statement

Mana whenua and mataawaka are partners in the development of the MSF and in the Strategic Refresh. The project will ensure the DCC is a good Treaty partner and contributes to positive outcomes for Māori and will seek further Māori input via community engagement.

Sustainability

The development and adoption of the City Portrait will promote social, economic, environmental and cultural wellbeing of communities in the present and for the future. It will do this by clarifying the interpretation and measures of sustainability, and promoting consistent application of this development approach.

LTP/Annual Plan / Financial Strategy /Infrastructure Strategy

The Refresh is expected to bring greater visibility and clarity as to how current and future corporate planning functions (encompassing long term plans and associated statutory strategies, levels of service and performance measures) support the DCC’s strategic goals and meet statutory requirements. The Strategic Refresh will align with the 10 Year Plan process.

Financial considerations

There are no financial considerations.

Significance

This report is considered to be of low significance in terms of the Significance and Engagement Policy as it provides an update of the Strategic Refresh. The Strategic Refresh itself is of high importance and so community engagement is planned and has been detailed in the report.

Engagement – external

Staff have not presented to any additional groups since the last update report.

Engagement - internal

Internal engagement is ongoing.

Risks: Legal / Health and Safety etc.

There are no identified risks.

Conflict of Interest

There are no known conflicts of interest.

Community Boards

All areas of the city will be interested in the Strategic Refresh. Community Boards will have an opportunity to participate as part of the engagement process.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987, exclude the public from the following part of the proceedings of this meeting namely:

 

General subject of the matter to be considered

 

Reasons for passing this resolution in relation to each matter

Ground(s) under section 48(1) for the passing of this resolution

 

Reason for Confidentiality

C1  Options for Residents' Opinion Survey Quarterly Reporting

S7(2)(b)(ii)
