1.1   Purpose of Report

This report provides the Communication and Engagement Strategy which provides a framework for all communication and engagement approaches and activities associated with Council’s water programme, both capital and operational for the next two years.

 

At the Meeting

The Manager Community Strategies spoke to the report, providing a brief overview of the steps taken to date and highlighting the keys areas of the strategy. The Marketing Manager provided a short presentation on the brand visuals and how this will look for the community (refer Appendix A). Councillors were also shown the information now available on Council’s website at https://www.napier.govt.nz/services/water-2/water-projects/.

It was noted that the strategy focuses on everything that Council is doing in the water space, not just major projects.

In response to questions from Councillors, the following points were clarified:

·        The strategy includes projects that are currently underway. Other projects will be coming in and out of the framework and these will be included in the strategy once initiated.

·        Council officers intend to develop a Māori Stakeholder Engagement Plan to work alongside the strategy.

·        It was noted that ‘Water we’re on it.’ is a relatable statement which simply says to the community that Council is taking action in this space, and is in response to the key feedback from elected members that Council needs to demonstrate to the community that they are actually doing something.
