South Island Branch Christchurch 16 April 2013 Meeting Report
Christchurch Meeting report 16 April 2013
Presenter: Chris Mene, Director of Mene Solutions
The Christchurch earthquakes have resulted in a large number of public facing projects being undertaken. Ultimately, the success of this work will be largely dependent on the integrity of the community consultation and participation undertaken. Identified principles of community consultation are to Inform, consult, involve, collaborate, and empower.
Engagement is about achieving best outcomes and this requires that consultation is undertaken with integrity and a willingness to hear and understand the needs of those who will be affected by decisions made.
Critical success factors for achieving stakeholder consultation are:
Structure
• Community consultation requires a structured approach and the use of rigorous and responsive models and processes.
Integrated Leadership
• This is a pre-requisite for delivery
Engagement Models
The International Association for Public Participation (IAP2), identifies the following key messages for engagement:
1. Principled approach(Identify, Plan, Manage, Control)
2. Manageable structure and shape
3. Clear and agreed ownership (one person ‘owns’ the register)
4. Appropriate resourcing
5. Responsiveness
The Christchurch committee would like to thank Noeleen Hill for volunteering and taking the time to do the report.
If any Christchurch members would like to volunteer to write-up a summary for a future meetings for PMINZ E-news can they please contact Paul Gains.

In response, our committee split roles and supported each other to keep member services going. We received offers of help from the PMINZ Board though most preferred to carry on as much as possible. I remember one committee member working nights for Civil Defence and still turning up for regular meetings.... [Full article]Please click here to view the full PDF branch update.
