To inform our implementation programme the Ministry wants to build on our evidence base of how local authorities in high-growth and medium-growth areas are currently providing future urban growth strategies, and how similar approaches have succeeded internationally. This will provide us with information on current best-practice, where to target guidance material, and overall provide assistance to local authorities for meeting the NPS UDC requirements to a high standard.
The Ministry wants to provide an efficient and effective implementation programme for the NPS UDC. To do this we require a greater evidence base and a provider with strong analytical skills who can identify the key challenges local authorities will face in producing Future Development Strategies. This requires either a provider with a strong planning background that understands strategic planning issues, or a provider with excellent project management skills and a planning background who can tap in to expertise elsewhere to sub-contract out the individual research deliverables.
The requirement for Future Development Strategies under the NPS UDC is a major shift in the way planning is undertaken in New Zealand. This is an opportunity to identify and promote international best-practice and support improved planning outcomes in New Zealand.
