The current Mana-to Mana governance level agreement between ORC and Kāi Tahu appears to be working well. The key is engagement at all levels of policy. Working together ensures the mutual obligations are being met. The continued development of the relationship will enable timely decisions are made for the benefit of the Otago environment
What is your usual approach to achieving collegial and constructive relationships with the people you work with? What is the most important element of a constructive working relationship?
Working together as a team is essential in building relationships. Recognising and listening to all views and through engagement and collaboration an agreed team approach can be formed. Communication and strong leadership is the key to maintaining focus on the teams set goals and strategies. A ground up approach to decision making.
The DCC's place-based community fund has been a game changer for community-led development and growing connected and resilient communities in Ōtepoti. What more will you do as a councillor to support community development in the city? (DCC candidate question only)
