Community Outcomes Monitoring
What are Community Outcomes Monitoring?
In 2005, the wider regional community was asked to identify what was important now and for the future, for themselves, their families and for the region. A total of 20 outcomes were identified, ranging across four domain areas: growth and change; accessibility, choice and opportunity; caring for people; and caring for place. Although presented separately below, it is acknowledged that the outcomes are closely inter-related.
Growth and Change | Accessibility, Choice and Opportunity |
Auckland's population growth and migration are well managed A thriving regional economy that supports a good standard of living Efficient energy use based on clean and reliable sources Central government, the ARC, the community, local councils and business work together to achieve results | Aucklanders have access to a range of affordable and safe ways to move people and goods Recreational and leisure opportunities that offer a range of experiences for all Access to a range of affordable housing Aucklanders are educated and skilled and have access to appropriate learning and training opportunities Community health and well-being is supported by a healthy environment where people have access to appropriate healthcare |
Caring for People | Caring for Place |
Valuing our identity and the changing face of Auckland The significant place of tangata whenua is acknowledged and their role as kaitiaki is recognised Maori are succeeding socially and economically, and contribute to decision-making The needs of women are recognised and addressed Safer neighbourhoods and public places Neighbourhoods with a sense of community | Quality built environment Aucklanders caring for and enjoying the natural environment Open spaces and green places, now and for the future Auckland's special places are respected and conserved The diversity of native species and habitats is protected and restored |
The outcomes span across many varied aspects of life in the region, and a wide range of government, private-sector and community organisations work together to progress these outcomes. Ultimately, however everyone in the region has a role to play in ensuring that these outcomes are realised, whether in our various roles as decision-makers, employers, employees, parents, citizens and consumers.
Measuring progress
The first regional community outcomes monitoring report for the Auckland region has been completed. It encapsulates progress made within those 20 outcomes.
We have collected information from a broad variety of sources and have worked with partners and stakeholders whose work also contributes to the outcomes to identify indicators of success.
Many of the regional outcomes are broad and comprehensive in their scope. Outlining progress is achieved through the use of indicators - these are measures of specific aspects of that outcome that can be measured and monitored over time. This report presents two or three indicators for each outcome. Some of the outcomes do not lend themselves easily to measurement through indicators however, and these are presented as discussion only.

Background
Under the Local Government Act, the Auckland Regional Council has an important role to play in identifying, working towards and monitoring progress made towards regional community outcomes.
Many organisations play a role in achieving community outcomes, including the ARC. Our contribution is described in our 2009-2019 Long-term Council Community Plan (LTCCP).
Thank you for visiting the Auckland Regional Council website and giving us your feedback. We are seeking to improve the information and services available on our website in the near future and any feedback you can provide will help us greatly in this process.
