Programme to show and grow council performance kicks off
A new programme aimed at lifting and demonstrating the value of local government kicked off this week, with the first council undergoing independent assessment.
Local Government New Zealand is pleased to confirm the addition of two further high calibre members to the board overseeing its new programme designed to lift and demonstrate council performance.
Local Government New Zealand congratulates the first councils to have been assessed through the local government excellence programme, CouncilMARK™.
Eighteen councils from around New Zealand signed up as Foundation Councils to be the first to go through the assessment process.
The Independent Assessment Board which oversees the new local government excellence programme CouncilMARK™ has today released the first set of council assessments and grades.
IAB Chair Toby Stevenson says the five reports measure indicators across leadership, finance, asset management, service delivery and community engagement.
