TRANSCRIPT
Nelson 2060 is our community vision for Nelson 50 years from now. It includes ten goals - the areas where the Nelson community has said we all need to focus efforts first, in a coordinated way, to move towards the vision.
This document outlines what the Nelson City Council will do over the next year to contribute to Nelson 2060. Nelson City Council’s purpose is to make Nelson a better place. Nelson 2060 shows us what that better place looks like. Nelson City Council has an important role to play, both through its own activities and through working with residents.
It’s going to take a whole of community effort and we invite you to take part, tell us what you’re doing at www.nelsoncitycouncil.co.nz
NELSON 2060 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2013/14 • SEPTEMBER 2013 2
Step1 The Council will invest time and resources in building the Nelson 2060 Decision Framework into all plans and activities, so it simply becomes ‘the way we do things’. Actions that move us in the right direction and embody the elements of ‘how we get there’ will be prioritised. We will also prioritise actions that seek to achieve progress over multiple goals.
Decision Framework• Does this move us towards
our shared vision and goals?• Is this in line with our
sustainability principles?• Is this a good investment?• Does this keep our options
open for achieving our vision in the future?
How we get there• Building community skills
and knowledge• Collaboration and
partnerships• Using Ma-ori knowledge to
create sustainable futures• Thinking in generations,
not years• Integrated planning
How we’ll know we’re getting there• Link each action and it’s
outcomes to the goal/s in Nelson 2060 and measure success against that goal
• Council decisions are informed by Nelson 2060
NELSON 2060 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2013/14 • SEPTEMBER 2013 3
NELSON 2060 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2013/14 • SEPTEMBER 2013
Step2 Council is responsible for a range of activities that already contribute to the Nelson 2060 goals and vision, so we’re well on the way. As well as aligning our existing activities with Nelson 2060, future activities to specifically support each goal will be planned and delivered as appropriate.

Step3 A range of people and organisations in Nelson want to see ongoing community oversight of progress towards Nelson 2060. As an interim step the Framing our Future Committee will review progress made towards Nelson 2060 on an annual basis and invite members of the Mayoral Taskforce, the Te Tau Ihu Sustainability Forum and the wider Nelson community to participate in this. This will help to coordinate community action towards Nelson 2060.
