In 2012 the St Albans Residents’ Association engaged consultants Resilience New Zealand Limited to assist in developing a community strategy for the area.
A survey was sent to all households in the area and netted over 700 ideas from citizens, which have resulted in 67 valid projects (many have been grouped together, such as “Develop sense of place”).
From the 67 projects we sought the help of informed community leaders to assist in the selection of twenty projects to undertake over the next ten years.
The process is based on the Newlands Model and has a robust underlying methodology.
