  1. myhamiltonCommunity Outcomes Strategy Presented to Strategic Planners Network Taupo District Council 17 December 2004

  2. Underlying philosophy • “Most councils have, in one way or another, treated the community outcomes process as an extension of the type of consultation they were used to undertaking…. This is not what the Act appears to require. Instead, it was intended to achieve a major shift away from the council as decision maker to the council as facilitator of a community strategic plan.” Peter McKinlay, June 2004.

  3. Underlying philosophy • “A product of the community outcomes process will be communities and councils that have a shared vision. Communication, consensus building and partnership skills will be the primary contributors to the achievement of this product.” John Hutchings (LGNZ), Planning Quarterly, September 2004.
